During the past six years I was fortunate to teach European Studies to Hungarian and foreign students within teacher training and further education as well. The lecture tries to summarize the most important features and approaches used in teacher training programmes, special programmes for in-service teachers and international seminars. The key questions of the approach are: How to define Europe as historical, geographical and cultural phenomena; How to motivate participants to get acquainted with European issues; How to promote European identity and citizenship; How to balance national and international features of European values, movements and relations; How to develop critical thinking and intercultural communication within European studies? Conclusion: teaching Europe would be much more efficient if we used concrete and up to date information to obtain personal interest and individual participation in different debates, projects, presentations and later on independent actions as well.

In the comparative law context, the civil law trust is typically presented as equivalent to its common law counterpart. Yet, the term trust, in civil law, covers a range of legal institutions, each of whose characteristics result from the model upon which it was based, the situations in which it applies, and the legal categorization selected by each country or civilian legal order in which it is adopted. This article gathers various examples of the civil law trust, using the Civil Code of Québec's concept of the trust as a starting point, and ultimately aims to provide an alternative to other, ill-conceived groupings that too often lead to confusion.

A new non-aligned peace movement existes in France: "le CODENE" which is independent of the more traditional peace movement sympathetic to the Communists. The author discusses the reasons why an independent peace movement has been slow to take hold in France. Factors discussed include: the consensus in France concerning their "own" nuclear strike capacity, the role of the French Communist Party in the peace movement, the attitude of the Catholic Church generally favourable to a policy of nuclear deterrence and the reluctance of trade unions to get involved in the struggle for disarmament. Along with other non-aligned European peace movements, the CODENE continues to encourage discussion on non-alignment and is organizing a national referendum/survey concerning a modernization of defense policy in France.
