The teaching of European history pursues the general objective of the Degree Course, namely to train professionals endowed with autonomous and critical reasoning skills in relation to complex problems, also within the scope of the legal-regulatory aspects related to international processes.
In this perspective, the teaching aims to enable educators to incorporate an EU dimension into their activity, to acquire knowledge, values, skills and competences, empowering them to think critically and form well-informed and balanced opinions, by practicing core European values of social inclusion and European and international solidarity.
To that end, the teaching of European History aims to provide the student with a thorough preparation about the historical, cultural and juridical foundations of the European Union. This course also is designed to promote greater awareness of the role of the Union European as one of the most important players in an international, global and interdependent scenario, and to promote a critical reflection on the EU, its governance and decision-making processes, and on how it affects the citizens of the Member States and their democratic participation.
Expected learning outcomes: knowledge of the most crucial political-cultural and institutional junctions in the history of community integration; ability to understand the dynamics and transformation processes of European society; autonomous, creative and innovative thinking on the main historical and social events of contemporary Europe and ability to express complex political, social and juridical situations by acquiring new communication skills.

Curriculum
teacher profile teaching materials
1) The history of Europe since the second post-war period, with reference to cultural and social processes and to the change in lifestyles.
This part of the program is carried out in a transnational and comparative key, with a particular focus on the common aspects of social change in Italy, France and Germany from 1945 to today. Through the use of audiovisual sources, the main socio-cultural dynamics leading to the common European identity are therefore examined: democratic participation, the new role of women, youth movements, environmental issues, genre, the end of colonialism and the arise of multicultural society, economic well-being, pacifism and disarmament, new creative forms (music, art, cinema). The history of European integration implies knowledge of common events that characterized the shaping of the European Union as a de facto and destined community.
2) The study of the founding path of the European Union from a political and diplomatic point of view and the analysis of the ideas of European federalism both secular and religiously inspired ones. The federalist idea represented the largest transnational institutional revolution so far achieved in 70 years of cooperation on the rubble of totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.
1) Analysis of the EU legal order, the evolution of the structure and functions of the main European institutions (Commission, European Parliament, Council, ECB and Luxembourg Court), integration theories and techniques (federalism, functionalism, neo-functionalism) and multi-level governance models. This analysis is designed to offer a reasoned and practical evaluation of potential and limits of the mechanisms of European governance, with particular reference to Welfare State and to the managing migration flows.
