The EUCiTec Project is a three-year Erasmus+ project based at the University of Hull and is supported by researchers and classroom-based partners from across the EU. The aim of the project is to create educational practices and resources to allow young people to explore, develop and practice citizenship in safe environments, representing real-world contexts and issues of direct relevance to them, their lives and their growth as European citizens. This is enabled through the use of new and emerging digital technologies, including virtual reality, which are popular with and attractive to young people and by creating associated resources and training for educators in schools, colleges and universities.
