Biography
Dr Emmanuelle Schon-Quinlivan is a lecturer in European politics in the Department of Government, UCC, since 2001. From 2017 to 2019, Emmanuelle led a Jean Monnet project entitled My Big Friendly Guide to the European Union and co-funded by the European Commission, Communicating Europe Initiative (DFA) and Cork City Council. It developed a pupil-centred, bottom-up programme of discussion, discovery and fun on the European Union's values, symbols, purpose and ambitions at primary school level. Based on critical pedagogy, it was co-constructed with pupils' and teachers' reflections, views and artefacts in order to generate understanding and ownership. You can follow the developments of this project on www.bfgtoeu.ie, https://www.facebook.com/BFGtoEU/ and on Twitter @BFGtoEUBorn in France, she graduated in European law and political science from La Sorbonne (BL), Sciences Po Paris (MA) and Edinburgh University (LLM).
