Concours Dans le cadre
des commémorations du 60ème anniversaire de la Libération,
le Sénat a organisé, en partenariat avec le Mémorial de Caen, un
concours destiné aux lycéens français et européens. Selon M.
Christian Poncelet, président du Sénat : « Il nous est
apparu en effet important d’associer la jeunesse à ces commémorations,
mais dans une perspective ‘constructive’ : face au bilan désastreux
du ‘premier XXe siècle’, il était important d’envisager le
parcours accompli depuis ce 9 mai 1950, où Robert Schuman et Jean
Monnet dévoilèrent le projet de Communauté Européenne du charbon
et de l’acier (CECA), embryon de la construction européenne ». « L’objectif
du concours était de faire réfléchir et travailler ensemble des
équipes nationales sur le thème de la paix et de la construction
européenne, au regard des enseignements tirés des deux guerres
mondiales. Chaque équipe a dû réaliser une présentation des
institutions politiques nationales, rencontrer et interviewer un
parlementaire, chacun de ces travaux étant traduit dans la langue
du partenaire. Une dernière épreuve consistait en la rédaction
commune d’une synthèse sur la construction et la citoyenneté
européennes. » « L’originalité
pédagogique de ce concours était double : elle a consisté,
d’une part, à fédérer des enseignants de langues, d’histoire
et d’éducation civique dans un travail interdisciplinaire et,
d’autre part, à faire travailler sur un projet commun des établissements
scolaires et des équipes d’enseignants français et étrangers ». Le concours a
reçu une cinquantaine de candidatures, représentant une centaine
d’établissements européens, principalement français, allemands
et italiens, mais également espagnols, belges et britanniques. Le 14 avril
2005, le jury présidé par le Sénateur Haenel a distingué les 14
équipes binationales lauréates, récompensant des travaux de
grande qualité et originalité. L’

A trip to the roots of the European Union Objectif :
à l’occasion de l’élargissement de l’Union Européenne,
accueillir symboliquement des lycéens d’Europe Centrale et
Orientale, de Chypre et de Malte, depuis le site historique de la
Maison de Jean Monnet, et leur expliquer les origines de la
construction européenne. European
Schoolnet (EUN) est une organisation internationale, basée à
Bruxelles, qui rassemble en Europe 26 ministères de l’Education.
EUN fournit des informations aux responsables et professionnels de
l’éducation sur l’usage des technologies de l’information
(via ses sites internet et des séminaires). Avec le soutien de la
Commission Européenne, ses missions principales sont : la
facilitation de réseaux d’établissements scolaires à travers
toute l’Europe, la réalisation de portails pédagogiques pour ces
établissements, et la recherche appliquée sur les standards d’échanges
de ressources au niveau européen. EUN
coordonne l’opération « Printemps de l’Europe »
dont l’objet est d’amener le débat sur le futur de l’Union
Européenne au plus près des jeunes citoyens. EUN coordonne également
le Service Central de Support de l’action eTwinning qui relie des
écoles à travers l’Europe pour une meilleure compréhension de
notre diversité culturelle. EUN

du chat : European Schoolnet ( Participants
au chat : Jean Monnet House (Julien Gascard, Lecturer, Arnaud Pinon,
Director) + Secondary Schools students and teachers from the
new Member States of the EU. ***** [Petru-EUN] Welcome everybody and thank you for
joining us! [Batthyany3] Hi Everybody! I'm Janos Blasszauer, a
teacher of English from Hungary. It's great to be here with you and
let me say thanks for this great opportunity. My students are
looking forward to the chat event. Today, our guests are : Arnaud
Pinon, manager and Julien Gascard, lecturer, both working at Maison
de Jean Monnet, in Houjarray, near Paris. [Sue] Hello everybody! Greetings from sunny Malta. [Monnet] Hello everybody ! We are Arnaud (38) and Julien (35), from the House of Jean Monnet. It's sunny weather here, near Paris. A good sign ! [Petru-EUN] Welcome Arnaud and Julien, and thank you
for the today's chat. [Sue] Welcome Jean Monnet House, it is very nice to
have the opportunity to meet you in this chat. [Brigitte] I am [Katerina] I am from the Czech Republic, from Doksy,
a little town not far from Polish and German borders [Monnet] We are ready to
answer your questions... [Brigitte] Did Jean Monnet foresee an EU with 25 members [Monnet] : Jean Monnet had
no limit for a united political Europe, which included of course
Central and Eastern Europe, whenever possible... [Batthyany1] What do you think Jean Monnet's legacy
is for present Europe? [Monnet] : Jean Monnet's
legacy is : 1) The idea of independant institutions, 2) EC law above
national laws (primacy), 3) Working together looking for common
interest, 4) Values : peace, solidarity, prosperity, 5) Never giving
up, 6) "Making" Europe together is more important than
"Europe"... [Batthyany2 to Batthyany3] : Which is Jean Monnet's
most famous quote? [Monnet] : About Turkey, the
main concern of Jean Monnet was in 1950 reconciliation of France and
Germany, beginning of european construction. In the context of the
cold war, he could not foresee the fall of Berlin wall, german
reunification and fall of USSR. Turkey membership is more a question
of our time. [PetruD] : Thank you, MJM [Monnet] : Our tasks :
information and training about European construction, and European
current issues. Building a bridge between the past, the present and
the future of Europe, without
forgetting our founding values !... For figures and details, watch
the end of our little movie... [Monnet] : Quotes : 1) We
are not bringing States together, we unite people, 2) In life, you
have choice between being someone and doing something. I've chosen
the second one, there's less competition... [ospivka] : I think that Jean Monnet hasn't been
recognised enough for all
the work he has done. There should be more told about him in our
schools. [Monnet] : The House of Jean
Monnet Welcomes 13.000 visitors/year and organizes 250 conferences
for pupils, students from all over the world. Lectures in French and
English. Our webzine is www.cahierseuropeens.net. [Ospivka] : We are very optimistic about the EU. But
as all small countries we are afraid of the future and what it will
bring. We are afraid of being left out or at the end of the line.
What is your opinion about that. [Monnet] : Small countries :
the EU is the first international organization where small countries
are listened to. In many institutions, one country = one voice. I
discussed lately with Finnish politicians who said to me that their
country never played such a role in history as when they presided
the EU (very well) a few years ago. They were very proud and happy
about that. In addition, for a small country, better be part of a
powerful group than isolated... [Zane1] : Hello, why
is Jean Monnet's name not so widely mentioned as Robert
Schuman ? For us it is something quite new to learn. [Monnet] : Jean Monnet is less known because himself was always inspiring prominent leaders, but never held political responsibilities himself... It was his choice to be behind the scene, in order to remain free, and influence the leaders who would then use his ideas. He wrote the “Schuman declaration” in April 1950, but it is called the SCHUMAN declaration because the French Foreign Minister presented the text and took the political responsibility to do so .. [Monnet] : [MJM] : Thank you everybody for joining and your
questions ! It was difficult but a real pleasure to answer to all of
you ! Enjoy your time now ! Happy you were so many, and now we have
to leave ... If there are anymore questions, Petru will collect them
and we’ll answer later by e.mail. See you some day in the house of
Jean Monnet. Bye ! [Lithuania] : Bye! [Inara1] : I regret that did not have a camera to
take pictures. We started with
my lecture about Jean Monnet house, then watched the video and then
chatting. I liked it. All the pupils heard the name of Jean Monnet
for the first time... [PetruD] : Good bye everybody and thank you for
today! Have a nice afternoon! Thank you to Arnaud and Julien! [Inara1] : Good bye and thank you for the chance to
chat. Have a nice day! [Sue] : I can imagine that more people think of the
famous painter with the similar name. [PetruD] : Thank you to Arnaud and Julien from the
Jean Monnet House in Paris [Monnet] : Thank you Petru
for your help ! Thank you Brigitte ! Thanks EUN ! Thank you all
participants again ! AND GOODBYE... |
