Workshop on student councils as agents of change
This workshop is targeted at student councils and will strengthen their engagement and commitment to create change, both at their school and in a larger global context.
With themes like active citizenship and the SDGs, we will guide the students in reflecting on what they want to change at their school and how. Through different exercises their reflections will be linked to global change and help student councils understand that even small changes can make a big difference. We will, together with the students, develop a plan for their own concrete solution with engagement from the rest of the school. Our hope with this workshop is to strengthen the youth’s hope for the future and to make the SDGs more tangible.
Target Group: Students Councils at public schools in Copenhagen Municipality, grade 6-10.
Date & Duration: The workshop is available now until June 2025, spanning 5-6 hours. You sign your student council up for your preferred date. If you are interested in the workshop but none of these dates fit, do reach out to us and we will try to find a different option!

Offers for Gymnasiums
Young voices in Europe
Does your gymnasium want to be part of a project that will strengthen students' knowledge and engagement about the EU and its strategic priorities for 2024-2029 through engaging workshops and a debate event in Copenhagen?
As a participating gymnasium, you will receive a workshop taking place at your school exploring the question: "What should Europe and the European Community look like in the future?” The workshop will through group work, discussions and dialogue-based methods, invite young people to reflect on what the future EU should look like, through their eyes. We will engage the youth students based on the EU’s strategic priorities for 2024-2029:
1. A free and democratic Europe
2. A strong and secure Europe and
3. A prosperous and democratic Europe.
Besides the workshop, 20 of your students will be invited to Crossing Borders working space in Copenhagen for a final debate event with 8 representatives from the political youth organizations. Here, youth leaders from the political parties in Denmark will present and debate their respective political positions on the future EU. If they are the ones making the decisions in the EU in the future, what would Europe and the European community look like?
In short, as a participant in this project, your gymnasium will:
- Participate in a workshop held at your school (max. 50 students)
- Participate in a debate event in Copenhagen (max 20 students)
- Host a presentation made by the participating students to the rest of the school about their experience.
All participation is free of charge, and your transport to and from Copenhagen is covered by the project. Your school must be located on Zealand.
The project is supported by Europa-Nævnet.
Please reach out to us on schoolteam@crossingborders.dk, if you are interested in becoming part of the project.
