The Office of the Secretary-General of the European Schools (OSGES) is pleased to share two educational opportunities offered by the European Commission for European Schools pupils: Experience Europe and Let’s Talk Europe.

Located in the heart of Brussels’ European Quarter, these activities offer pupils an interactive and engaging way to discover the European Union, connecting classroom learning with real-world examples, multimedia experiences and discussion.

Through these activities, pupils can explore how the European Union works, discover European culture and shared values, understand how EU decisions affect everyday life and develop critical thinking, debate skills and active citizenship.

The two activities can be combined to create a complete 90-minute learning experience:

Discover → Understand → Discuss → Participate

The activities can complement different areas of the European Schools curriculum. For Primary P5, connections include Geography, History, Socio-cultural Studies and European Hours. At Secondary level, relevant links include Geography, History, Philosophy & Ethics and Languages.

Teachers interested in bringing the EU closer to their pupils can use these activities as an opportunity to connect classroom learning with European citizenship, cooperation, diversity and participation.
