IUC-Europe - International Education Center, is a European network organisation, partly funded by the Danish Ministry of Education, with its main office in Svendborg and a local office in Copenhagen. IUC works with national and international long-term projects in the fields of teaching/learning, non-formal (political) education, citizenship and integration, employment and study trips.

IUC is Denmark’s only Europe House and a founding member of EUNET (European Network for Education and Training). Also, IUC is a member of a number of international networks, including The Model European Parliament Baltic Sea Region organisation, (www.mepbsr.org) where NN acts as administrative coordinator for 10 countries. Our projects/activities are described on our website. A core activity is IUC´s work with young people, originating in Youth 2002, one of Europe’s biggest youth projects with 1000 European participants from 33 countries, who came to DK to write a youth constitution. A number of other projects: Youth 2003, The Vision 5 Team, Europe4You, Youth 2005, Brandbjerg Waves of Democracy e.g. have continued this line of work focusing on educating young Europeans to become international navigators and acquire intercultural competences. A major project in 2010 was Waves of Democracy in Novi Sad, followed up in 2011 in Belgrade www.wavesofdemocracy2011.eu 

We take our starting-point in the common Nordic values: equality, trust, low power distance, flexibility, sustainability and a non-authoritative approach to teaching/learning but in close cooperation, dialogue and development with part-ners/colleagues/organisations all over Europe and in the US. We implement our projects/activities nationally as well as internationally with a strong focus on cross-border cooperation and face-to-face meetings.
