Structure and contents
The project is structured in two semesters each including project work, travel periods and practical experiences. The teaching methods are a combination of projects, travelling, field trips and group exercises. The autumn and spring semesters are connected but each focusing on different aspects of organisational work. We recommend students to do the full project of 42 weeks but participation in autumn or spring semesters can just as well be done independently.
| Autumn semester August-December, 18 weeks |
Spring semester January-June, 24 weeks |

Teaching and project work
The learning aspect is central in all aspects of teaching and activities. Personal commitment and contribution are expected from all students as learning and development depend on a high level of activity. Participants must dare to be challenged in new fields within:
- Intercultural learning and co-operation, Conflict management, Team building, Teamwork processes.
- Project management, Communication, Presentation technique, Creative activity development.
- Leader training, Organisational management, International fundraising, Dilemmas in organisational work.
- Democracy and civil society, European culture, European and international politics.
You will during lessons meet creative minds, decision makers, artists, politicians and experts within a long range of relevant fields connected to the topics above.
EuroClass on Tour
Travel periods involve a joint EuroClass project tour through a number of European countries. The aim is to research for smaller student projects including filming and interviews, visits to organisations, central European institutions and sites.
The voluntary stay is the highlight of the leader training and a unique opportunity to live in a foreign country while participating in the work and life of a youth organisation. Most often two EuroClass students will be together during this period, where personal involvement and an open mind are the best tools for an unforgettable and valuable experience. The voluntary stay is optional.
Additional creative and intellectual subjects
EuroClass students will along with other students be given the opportunity to choose a number of creative and intellectual subjects. A selection of subjects within sports, art, music, outdoor life, drama, swimming, sailing, orienteering, photo, film, glass work, pottery, textile and more will be found at the school. Students will be able to create a weekly schedule fitting personal interests.
