Pupils created the European flag by using their bodies in School's playground. First, Member of the European Parliament from Slovakia Mr. Boris Zala inaugurated this activity by having a telephone conversation with pupils. After, pupils from all Grades created 12 stars in a circle, like those you can see in the European flag. As you may know the number 12 symbolizes the perfectionism. Many other pupils created four sides of this live-flag. They heard the European hymn, Ode to Joy by Beethoven and they received their gifts from the Representation of the European Commission in Slovakia and from the Directorate-General of Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO).
