摘要

How can we achieve due publicity for an agenda that concerns all of us? Efforts have been made to spread the news about Old Europe on various levels and using different channels of digital communication, including the social media. If we strive for continuity with respect to knowledge-construction then we have to face the challenge to address the younger generation and to enter the educational domain. Young people are the ones who may take the role of “messengers”, storing the newly constructed knowledge about Old Europe in their cultural memory, to be activated for wider distribution in various contexts. Young people are more perceptive for assimilating new information, as ingredients of knowledge-construction, than adults. This specific capacity of how young people memorize has been addressed already by the philosophers in antiquity, Plato for one. When we think of schoolchildren we may stipulate that their capacity to memorize is still soft as wax. In their role as messengers of the agenda and peace mission of Old Europe it is not only the youngest generation that is addressed. The education of schoolchildren, as minors, lies in the hands of their mentors, representatives of the next-following, older generation. In case the Old European agenda is introduced into school education, the teachers would play the role of “ambassadors”, mediating the information about the world’s oldest advanced culture to those under their supervision. The ambassadors task would be to become a source of inspiration for those who are in their care, training them as messengers. Teaching materials for different domains of revised education are presented in this volume, to serve as a backing-up of documentation of innovative statements and to illuminate the direction for a revised fabric of school education.
