ABOUT The Module is implemented by Eurasia International University and is an integral part of the Double Degree Master’s Program in Human Rights and Security. The Double Degree Program is run jointly with Tuscia University, Italy (students spend the first year of the academic program at EIU and the second one at Tuscia University). The academic coordinator of the Module is Dr. Anna Khvorostiankina, Head of the Law Department at EIU. Project objectives The Module aims to explain the EU as a global and regional security and Human Rights actor. For this purpose, the Module introduces the mini-program “EU, Security, and Human Rights” consisting of introductory and advanced courses, conducts research, and organizes awareness-raising activities. Project activities Teaching The Module includes the following master-level courses: * Introduction to EU Law: principles, institutions and decision-making procedures * Introduction to EU External Relation Law * EU Fundamental Values: Theoretical and Practical Aspects * Human Rights, Security and the Principle of Proportionality * EU as a Security Actor: Enlargement and ENP Contexts * Global Security, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding: the Role of the EU “Learning-by-doing” and further internationalization The Module further seeks to internationalize students’ experiences and introduce the “learning-by-doing” teaching approach. This will be achieved by organizing the International Student Forum, students’ participation in the Summer Institute, and two simulations of the decision-making in EU institutions focused on contemporary security issues and challenges (implemented jointly with Tuscia University). Wider outreach As an innovation, students are expected to produce short videos explaining the EU and its role in addressing the main security challenges (globally and regionally, with a specific focus on the EU’s role in conflict resolution in the South Caucasus). Targeting the general public, these video materials will raise awareness about the EU and serve as a public diplomacy initiative. Public awareness will also be raised through the open public lecture series. Research Last but not least, the Module fosters research on the role of the EU as a global actor in the EaP region.
