About

In mid-2020 The European Studies Association was awarded the Jean Monnet project “Teaching the Teachers beyond Brexit”. Alongside our co-sponsors of this project, RMIT University EU Center and Swinburne University, the association went ahead with organising four events in Melbourne and Sydney.
