Mr. Dr. Peter Roland from Vienna/Austria has started a great project: "Examen Europaeum". The partners are: Austria, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, United Kingdom.
The Examen Europaeum is the first all-European educational project with a comprehensive European dimension. It aims to create a supranational European consciousness of common cultural interests and thus bring about those spiritual links that are important for an improvement of relations among the nations of Europe and above all among their citizens.
The main objective is to train anyone interested in the European idea, especially in the fields of education, further education, civil service and the European economy, whose cultural understanding should go beyond a mere knowledge of the "technical" facts relating to the European Union.

By providing common knowledge of the background of European history and thus an understanding of the aims of the European Union, the Union and the European idea will be strengthened. So the project will contribute towards stabilising the European idea in the consciousness of the union's citizens - by recognising mutual history, prejudices, value judgements, common opportunities and risks.

Themes: The project is to develop four key themes related to a common European culture and European integration. The following themes will achieve this purpose:

European Union/History of the European Idea/European Literature and Culture/European Linguistic Stock
