On May 25 and 26, 2023, the conference "European education in literature lessons" took place in Kassel with the aim of bringing together different perspectives on the potentials and challenges of an aesthetic examination of self and foreign descriptions of Europe and bringing them into conversation with each other.

Paul Bräutigam, Jennifer Pavlik (both University of Kassel) and Ivo Theele (University of Flensburg) invited representatives from literary and didactic research, education policy and teachers, who contributed their respective expertise to reflect on the design of Europe-related skills, the curricular anchoring of these skills and the possibilities of implementing European education in literature lessons.

The conference was part of the European Union-funded Jean Monnet project "EuKiD. Europe-related competences in the German classroom". Further information can be found at www.eukid.de
