The HI EU – Croatian Initiative for the European Union in Schools project is structured into five work packages, ensuring the systematic implementation of activities and the achievement of project goals. Each work package focuses on a key aspect of EU education and provides teachers and students with the necessary tools, training, and resources.

WP1: Project Management and Coordination

This work package ensures efficient project management, activity monitoring, and coordination among partners. Key activities include:

• Organizing meetings and regular communication between partners,
• Monitoring progress and evaluating results,
• Administrative and financial project oversight,
• Reporting to the European Commission and relevant stakeholders.

WP2: Development of Pedagogical Framework and Teaching Materials

The goal of this work package is to provide teachers with concrete tools for integrating EU topics into the curriculum. Activities include:
