Welcome to the Center for European Studies (CES) and the European Union Center of Excellence (EUCE) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Our mission is to advance understanding of the social, political, and economic events that shape contemporary Europe, in particular the European integration project. This is accomplished by supporting faculty and graduate student research through our roles as a National Resource Center funded by the U.S. Department of Education and as an EUCE funded by the European Commission.
Subscribe now to the CES video channel on YouTube. The channel is the home to original resources for students and the greater public too. You will find lectures from our TransAtlantic (TAM) masters series and by our esteemed visiting scholars. From the EU Delegation's view on the ongoing financial crisis to careers in foreign service, the topics are as varied as Europe itself!
Full lectures will be posted to the CES video channel as soon as possible. Please subscribe to be notified.
The European Union: An Introduction For Teachers
FREE four-week online course offering
two CEUs begins June 26
The goal of this course is to introduce in-service teachers to the history and the function of the EU, and to digital resources and methods for student learning. By the end of the course, teachers will understand the EU as an essential part of European history, government, economics, and culture, and will be able to facilitate learning about the EU through use of technology.
The final project is a standards-based, technology-rich lesson plan incorporating online EU resources for each teacher’s class. Lesson plans will be submitted to the UNC EUCE for possible inclusion in the online lesson plan database.
Sponsored by the European Union, UNC EU Center of Excellence, and LEARN NC.
