Since 1995, it has successfully implemented EU educational projects and strengthened the European dimension in Vienna’s schools – with over 60 projects in cooperation with more than 20 countries.
The focus is on topics such as digital education, democracy awareness, diversity, resilience, and international mobility. Highlights include the internationalization strategy „enterEurope“”, student programs in Brussels, and funded vocational internships abroad.
