This project will develop, promote and evaluate the teaching resource through the 2nd year module ‘Politics of the European Union’ (POLEU) through a multi-disciplinary remit. This will create platforms for EU debate and share resources and methodologies through dissemination (OER). The project builds on existing research strengths of the Jean Monnet Centre of European Governance. There is a greater need to understand the contested nature of the European polity in the Business subject area. POLEU has been included as a compulsory module on the International Business degree programme. The project will provide Business Studies students with a political understanding of the EU, having a positive impact in promoting a stronger and deeper understanding of European issues within the University and beyond. POLEU has a strong focus on students understanding the subject matter through a process of political engagement, which is obtained through a study trip to Brussels, European Parliament to Campus (EPCampus) and a simulation negotiation. The results will be disseminated via writing journal papers and presenting papers at conferences.The Jean Monnet module will:• Bring together students from different subject disciplines to learn about European integration;• Integrate political engagement into the teaching of European integration through the EPCampus programme and EU study visit;• Increase awareness of the contested nature of the EU policy-making environment though a simulation exercise;• Engage civil society through a EU Question Time debate;• Disseminate understanding through podcasts via OER;• Deepen understanding of the learning and teaching of European integration through innovative pedagogic approaches;• Disseminate findings at national, EU and international level via networks such as Jean Monnet conferences/directory and conferences such as UACES, ECPR and APSA.
