The Maison de l'Europe (MdE) Angers & Maine-et-Loire

The Maison de l'Europe (MdE) Angers & Maine-et-Loire - Europe Direct offers information sessions about the European Union to different audiences and organizes events to promote better knowledge of the cultural, economic and social aspects of the EU member states. As place of exchange and debate, the MdE 49 initiates and coordinates actions in Europe´s favour in the area Maine and Loire. It is indeed informing the general public and the organisation of various events that European identity comes to life. Its actions are carried out through four main lines of work : pedagogy, culture, debate and the MdE is also a resource centre. Since its creation, the association has been developing partnerships with schools to inform young people about the impact of Europe and existing mobility opportunities. At the moment, our main target is the young audience.
