Our fifth Joint Staff and Pupil Mobility was held from the 10th until 14th February 2025 in Leuven, Belgium, hosted by Miniemeninstituut. The focus of this mobility was on strengthening democratic competences through real-world experiences in media literacy, European institutions and intercultural exchange. Throughout the week, students explored how misinformation spreads, how European decision-making works, and how social media shapes political behaviour today. The programme combined workshops, physical activities and cultural visits to deepen understanding and foster international cooperation.
