Europe Direct Catania for an active European citizenship!
The need for European citizenship: e-Medine is Europe Direct Catania
e-Medine is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to the promotion of EU citizenship, for the political and cultural convergence of the Mediterranean countries in a single motherland: Europe.
Its main aim is to raise people awareness on the importance of a European identity and on integration in all its aspects (social, economic and cultural), among both citizens and social actors, through awareness campaigns, round tables and the dissemination of best practices.
In these years, thanks to its credibility, e-Medine has been able to attract grants from the European Fund for Preparatory Actions in the field of Sport-Health and Physical Activity and from the Life Learning Programme, and from October 2022 for the European Commission it is Europe Direct Catania, to help better understand the dynamics of the EU, to seize its opportunities and to enhance its democratic principles, cornerstones of the European Union.
What we do
e-Medine aims to raise awareness about the importance of EU citizenship, to reach a political and cultural convergence of the Mediterranean countries in the European motherland, so as to overcome cultural differences and to aim to create a European identity.
In order to achieve its goals, the organisation promotes the adoption of serious games and other digital tools and methodologies that have already shown their effectiveness in the field of people’s cultural education.
