We would like to thank secondary schools from Lublin and the Lublin Voivodeship for their participation in the "Aware Citizen - EU issues training" Project!
The fruitful cooperation between the Lublin City Office and the European Centre UMCS, as well as the interesting topics of the two-day sessions conducted by the researchers and academic staff of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the UMCS and the Faculty of Political Science of the UMCS, made it possible to train 165 high school students in 11 training groups consisting of 15 participants each.
The implementation of the project resulted in 20 meetings taking place in the UMCS premises, while another 2 were held remotely (due to the epidemiological situation in Poland at the time).
