Abstract
Over the past twenty-five years, Eurovision studies have evolved into
a multidisciplinary research area. It inspired books and papers written
by musicologists, physicists, statisticians, economists, political
scientists, sociologists, gender experts and cultural analysts. This
paper advances the field by focusing on teaching the ESC. Using the
theory of key educational experiences, it exemplifies how academic
courses on the Eurovision can combine fun with academic rigor while
advancing knowledge about European politics and culture.
