ValEUs MOOC Now Available Online: Values in European Union Foreign Policy

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) titled “Values in European Union Foreign Policy”, developed under the ValEUs – Research & Education Network on Contestations to EU Foreign Policy, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

This free, self-paced online course offers an interdisciplinary overview of how values shape the EU’s external actions—and how these values are interpreted, applied, and contested across different regions and political contexts.

Developed collaboratively by scholars from 20 partner institutions across five continents, the course features 13 lectures combining videos, readings, presentations, and a final online exam. Upon successful completion, participants receive a digital certificate of attendance.

Course Structure

The MOOC is divided into three main modules:

1. Theorising EU Foreign Policy
2. Values in EU Foreign Policy
3. Contestations of Values in EU Foreign Policy

Who Should Join?

The course is open to students, researchers, policy professionals, and anyone interested in democracy, human rights, peace, justice, and global governance.
