On the 27th of October, at 21:45 CET, Senior Manager of EUROCLIO Jonathan Even-Zohar featured in the latest episode of Euronews, The Network. Presented by journalist Chris Burns, The Network invites three guests to have three different points of view on a hot news item. The guests are placed and connected in different places or cities, in order to create a kind of “network”. The episode in which Jonathan featured was titled European Education and How to teach Europeand was based upon the recent debate in the European Parliament after the presentation of a report by Mr. Jean-Marie Cavada, MEP for the European People's Party, about the European School System. In the report and the resolution accepted by the European Parliament, a series of reforms to this system are issued, but Cavada also stated that the European School System should serve as a ‘model of inspiration for the national school systems, to promote the emergence of a European identity from the earliest age and to favour the development of mobility’.
In the episode, Jonathan expressed EUROCLIO’s opinion concerning this issue, while debating with Ms. Doris Pack, MEP for the European People’s Party and Chair of the Committee on Culture and Education for the European Parliament, and Mr. William Dartmouth, MEP for The Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group, who expressed his deep misgivings about what he called ‘European propaganda’.
