The European Federation for Education and Science ( EBB-AEDE ) was founded in 1956 under the name European Educators Association ( EEB ) as the German section of the Association Européenne des Enseignants (AEDE). It was renamed in 1994. It was dissolved in 2019.
aims
The EBB-AEDE was an association of teachers and educators from all areas of education from preschool to university. Its aim was "to promote the European idea and the European dimension in all areas of education" (§2 of its statutes). The EBB was a member of the European Movement (Mouvement européen) and called for a federal Europe .
The EBB-AEDE organized national and European seminars every year and also maintained regional working groups. Particular emphasis was placed on the promotion of and assistance in the implementation of European educational projects in the sense of sustainability , the promotion of multilingualism and the promotion of cooperation between educators of the European educational systems. This was intended to better prepare these Europeans, and subsequently young Europeans, for the opportunities and challenges of European unification.
Wolfgang W. Mickel (1929–2005), a didactician in political education and longstanding chairman, assessed the necessity of the association after 2000:
“The overriding theme is still 'Education for Europe'. It indicates the direction of all educational efforts and has lost none of its topicality. In the post-war period it became a matter of course in the (old) Federal Republic of Germany, which was pushing for a Western European connection, and was elevated to an international pedagogical program for the first time on the occasion of the establishment and curricular definition of the first European school of the coal and steel union in Luxembourg in 1954. In the meantime it has become the programmatic objective of the education system in the Eastern European countries as well as in the united Germany. Three generations of teachers - the generation after 1918, after 1945 and after 1989 - had to relearn because the political and social framework had completely changed "
history
The European umbrella organization, the AEDE, was established on July 18, 1956 in March 1956 in the Lycée as part of a meeting of representatives of the educational sectors within the European Federalist Movement from the then six countries of the coal and steel union (and with their financial support) and Switzerland St. Louis founded in Paris. At the same time, the German section, the "European Educators' Association" (EEB), whose name has been changed for conceptual reasons, was created. The Austrian section, which was founded in 1959, initially kept this name and then renamed itself 'europtimus-AEDE Austria'. Wolfgang Mickel has the motivation for the emergence of this only European association encompassing all educational areas with independent sections in many European countries and "which does not see itself as an international professional association or professional association, but is primarily focused on a federal Europe", from the first crisis of institutional Europe as follows:
“[Endangered] and forced by the Korean War (1950–1953), the failure of the planned European Defense Community at the vote of the French National Assembly in 1954 was seen as a delay in political unification, and there was discouragement that Europe could fail. On the other hand, there was an intensive intellectual preparation in the form of the unification plans of the resistance movements in many Western countries, including Germany, and the political commitment of the European movement as well as the intentions of top politicians such as Konrad Adenauer , Alcide de Gasperi , Robert Schuman , Paul Henri Spaak and others in the practical Politics cannot be ignored. "
