Project-based Learning for Students
ILEU e.V. had a project-based learning cooperation with a local university. The students were given the chance to take part in the planning and preparation of an transnational event, and managed to get complete PR campaign that covered various channels (print, social media etc.) from the students. The students designed flyer, postcards and posters, set up a blog and were responsible for social media.
The students were supervised by a professor as well as by ILEU. It should be noted that the supervision of the students is rather time consuming and is no sure-fire success. The work assignment was part of a course at university. It took one semester. One should get in contact with the university well in advance and take into account the termtime.

Intercultural Danube-Bridge-Breakfast
The Danube Bridge Breakfast was a public two-hour event on a bridge crossing the Danube in Ulm/Neu-Ulm. The educational network “The Danube-Networks” hosted this event with the intention to create the opportunity for the Danube neighbors to get to know each other while tasting bread and small regional delights from the Danube countries. In a relaxed environment, the participants were given the possibility to get to know people from different cultures and backgrounds, to see the diversity within unity in Europe, and to get the feeling of what a peaceful European unity means in real life. The event was open to everyone, free of charge and was part of the International Danube Festival in Ulm.a
