The LEAP aims to explore how the EU
integration is taught, learned, experienced and contested at the periphery of
the EU. The more the EU integration unfolds, the more divergent paths for EU
members as well as candidate and neighboring countries become apparent,
described as a fracture along North-South, East-West or centre-periphery lines.
In this respect, the project develops a multi-dimensional, integrative, inter-regional
and inclusive approach to scrutinise the educational aspect of the EU
integration (how the EU is taught and learned) as well as to assess performative
aspect of the EU integration to find out how it penetrates to the everyday
lives of the young citizens (how the EU is experienced) and to explore the
political aspect of the EU integration to find out the reasons triggering
Euroscepticism (how the EU is contested) in Turkey, Romenia, Kosovo, Georgia
and Ukraine. For this aim, it is necessary to combine comparatively the
experiences of academics, students, young citizens, civil society and political
actors. This endeavour involving a Kick-Off Conference, 3 workshops, 3 network
summits, a Closure Conference, a teaching mobility stage that allows the
Network members to teach at various universities of the Network and an intense
research process which will conduct focus group interviews and structured
interviews will be translated into a project website, 3 Special Issues (that
will bring together the results of the workshops,), 2 edited books (bringing
together the focus group interviews, structured interviews and simulation
diaries), 2 films and a database. Although the EU studies tries hard to
understand the complexities of/challenges against the EU integration, this
endeavour is usually too centre-oriented and is generally employing the EU’s
institutional and conventional perspective. In order to avoid being blind
spotted to the alternative narratives on the challenges of the EU integration,
it is obligatory to develop an integrated approach to addressing to how
multifarious actors in the periphery assess these challenges, which the LEAP
aims to find out.
