Abstract
In recent years, the European Union (EU) has confronted significant challenges, reigniting debates surrounding the establishment of a cohesive European identity. Scholars emphasizing the importance of forging a European identity, argue that it plays a crucial role in establishing legitimacy and facilitating the future political integration of the EU. This article endeavors to investigate the influence of school European projects on the formation of a European identity. Specifically, the research aims to elucidate the factors contributing to the development of European identity and the potential preconceived stereotypes held by students involved in European mobility projects. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with former and current students of a Greek lyceum possessing extensive experience in European student mobility initiatives. The survey spanned from October 2022 to March 2023, providing valuable insights into the intricate relationship between European projects and the shaping of European identity.
