FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
According to the specific annual priority of the Europe for Citizens Programme, the EUFREE project marked the history of the EU from the Schuman Declaration to the present day, as well as the 20th anniversary of the proclamation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (2000).
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union brings together the most important personal freedoms and rights enjoyed by EU citizens into one legally binding document. The project partners were very interested in analyzing the limitations and needs of its implementation as fundamental rights for all citizens living in Europe, the EU or outside it.
