The initiative, supported by the European Commission and inspired on the successful project “A scuola di open coesione”, succefully implemented in Italy since 2013, promotes the engagement of students in monitoring the effectiveness of EU cohesion policy investments via the use of public open data. The initiative also aims at fostering the culture of active citizenship, promoting accountability for public institutions and raising awareness of Cohesion Policy among young people.
At the School of Open Cohesion (ASOC) is an educational challenge and a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) designed for high-school students. As part of the competition, they will produce a communication product to illustrate the results of their work and compete with their peers nationally and at European level.
The participating Member States and regions were selected following a call for expression of interest published in March 2019.
