Let’s explore Europe!


In the framework of the celebration of the Europe Day 2011 (9th of May) in the Primary School Dr. Janskeho c.2, from Friday, 29 of April  till Friday, 6 of May, pupils from all Grades were informed about Europe and the European Union. They attended a Powerpoint presentation which was created with material of the EUBookshop publication "Let's explore Europe!". This book for children (roughly 9 to 12 years old) tells the story simply and clearly. Full of interesting facts and colourful illustrations, it gives a lively overview of Europe and explains briefly what the European Union is and how it works. The presentation covered the following contents of this book: A continent to discover (p. 3-5), Getting around (p. 6-7), Languages in Europe (p. 8-9), Climate and Nature (p. 10-12), A Journey through time (p. 19-27), Learning the lessons of history (p. 28-29), The Story of the European Union (p. 30-33). 

On Europe Day, children played EU interactive games about Europe and European Union. For this reason, all School's technical equipment such as 5 interactive boards, 17 netbooks and more than 45 computers was provided.

Europe: a beautiful continent with a fascinating history. It has produced many of the world’s famous scientists, inventors, artists and composers, as well as popular entertainers and successful sports people. For centuries Europe was plagued by wars and divisions. But in the last 60 years or so, the countries of this old continent have at last been coming together in peace, friendship and unity, to work for a better Europe and a better world. This book for children (roughly 9 to 12 years old) tells the story simply and clearly. Full of interesting facts and colourful illustrations, it gives a lively overview of Europe and explains briefly what the European Union is and how it works.
