Sponsors
Eurolektionen is a project by the 2008/2009 cohort of the Berlin Studies Centre, “a programme for future European leaders in the fields of science, business, politics, culture and administration”. The Berlin Studies Centre is a joint initiative of the German National Academic Foundation and the Hertie Foundation. Eurolektion is supported by both program sponsors through intensive consultations, an enriching cultural program, networking and generous financial contributions.
Eurolektionen is grateful for the opportunity to work under such privileged conditions and cherishes the spirit of mutual trust and freedom in the cooperation with its sponsors.
Schools
Eurolektionen had three project schools in Berlin, Romania and Sweden.
