The European Pathway at the EUF

What is the European Pathway?

With the European Pathway the Europa-Universität Flensburg (EUF) is introducing an innovative concept in teacher education aimed at systematically promoting European competencies. Based on the recommendations of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK, 2020) and European guidelines, the European Pathway seeks to empower future teachers to actively convey European values, multilingualism, as well as intercultural and democratic competencies in schools and society. 

Beginning in the autumn semester 2026, the European Pathway will be firmly integrated into the B.A. Bildungswissenschaften (Educational Sciences) program. It comprises at least 20 credit points (CP) drawn from subject-specific, pedagogical, and extracurricular offerings and combines existing modules with new formats such as blended learning, study abroad opportunities, and project-based learning settings. Strategically, the initiative is embedded in the European university alliance EMERGE, ensuring synergies and international connectivity. The goal is a future-oriented, European-profiled teacher education that strengthens social cohesion, critical thinking, and active citizenship.
