Abstract

Abstract The Leonardo da Vinci project entitled EViVE - European Values Vocational Education-LLP-LDV / PAR / 2013 / RO / 032), took place between September 2013 and July 2015. In this a project, professors from the Educational Sciences Department of the Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu along with partners from Germany, France, Great Britain, Bulgaria and Turkey were involved. The project stages started with the detection of existing values in vocational education in each country. These values were compared afterwards with the values promoted by the European Union as a standard and in case they did not coincident, the common values in accordance with European values were transmitted. In order to ensure the teaching and learning framework of these values, there had to be accomplished a common curriculum, in which specific national features were inserted, exemplifying how these values can and must be taught. The taught lesson showed the importance of awareness of the teachers in teaching these values during the didactic process, as well as the importance that students, through means of education, have to internalize these values, in order to become fully trained Citizens of the United Europe.
