Projet Citoyen was an interesting learning exercice for the kids in East Dunbartonshire schools, at least that is what it seems when you read there blog. An international experience, of cultural exchange, is something vital in today’s world. Our world demand more people able to understand there neighbourg, especially if this one does not belong to the same culture as I do. 

While the project is not recent, I feel it is a pity such an innovative experience does not happen more often, and in more schools. One of the reason why Europe today is suffering from the crisis, stem partially from the lack of shared culture, and mutual understanding between different European nations.

If sixty years ago, the funders of Europe were dreaming of a europe living in peace, and common understanding, it is not quite the same picture we can witness today when we look at european social and cultural reality.

The best tool to change such a situation is education, but for this we need to invest time and effort in building the bridges while kids are still in school.
