Teaching Europe has never been easier: meet PLUS' Europakoffer Teaching Europe has never been easier: meet PLUS' Europakoffer ================================================================ CIVIS Highlights 12 April 2024 *The Europakoffer*, a teaching kit on Europe, has been developed at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (PLUS). The travel case contains materials for various subjects and should raise pupils' awareness of Europe and the European motto 'Unity in Diversity'. ![](/storage/files/20240311-mg-9998.jpg) *Photo © Kay Müller\_PLUS* Teachers can bring the travel case to their schools and incorporate the Europe-related teaching units into their own lessons. The focus is less on providing knowledge about the European Union and more on cultural content about Europe that can be easily integrated into teaching. The case currently contains materials for teaching units in 10 subjects, including German, physics, English, sports and music. But the contents are continuously being expanded and developed based on feedback from pupils and teachers. ![](/storage/files/20240311-mg-0004-2024-03-11-schulerinnen-km-web.jpg) *Photo © Kay Müller\_PLUS* The *Europakoffer* is geared towards students aged 14 to 17. The materials can also be used in lower or higher classes, depending on the maturity and abilities of the pupils. Teachers only need a limited amount of time to prepare for units and do not need to read up on complex topics. The European Toolbox is a result of a collaboration between the Forschungswabe Europäische Integration ("European Integration Research Hub") at the School of Education, the Salzburg Centre for European Union Studies, the Department of Educational Research and experts from several other departments at the PLUS. **Find out more from the [original story, in German](https://www.plus.ac.at/news/europakoffer-fuer-salzburger-schulen/).** Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/martin-knoll1-800x600.jpg?token=2dd28f1c93ba3eaf2cd32b2380fdc009)Martin Knoll: a 'civizen' working to build bridges between science and society People 26 April 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/martin-knoll-a-civizen-working-to-build-bridges-between-science-and-society) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/euko-at-bild-800x600.jpg?token=8b0e68266375a76c6818dc87522df43f)Generative AI, a normal and familiar part of Austrian teenagers everyday lives CIVIS Highlights 23 February 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/generative-ai-a-normal-and-familiar-part-of-austrian-teenagers-everyday-lives) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/internationalisation-800x600.png?token=e1b39583bd55dd3a1eea12a2c04d207d)University of Salzburg wins Internationalisation Award for Staff Mobility and Development CIVIS Highlights 17 December 2025 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/university-of-salzburg-wins-internationalisation-award-for-staff-mobility-and-development) [Discover all our stories](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) [ Lifelong Learning projects bring together researchers from UNIL and the city of Lausanne ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/lifelong-learning-projects-bring-together-researchers-from-unil-and-the-city-of-lausanne >) [ Giant turtle from the late Pleistocene discovered by Tübingen researcher ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/giant-turtle-from-the-late-pleistocene-discovered-by-tubingen-researcher >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
