EU Commissioner Mairead McGuinness recently welcomed a group of 22 Irish primary school teachers to the European Commission in Brussels.
The teachers participate in the Blue Star Programme which teaches primary school pupils about European cultures and the EU through creative activities and projects which complement the national primary curriculum.
This was part of a study visit organised by the European Commission Representation in Ireland, in partnership with the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland, and the European Movement Ireland.
It also included a day of seminars with officials in the European Commission, a meeting with Irish MEPs, and a visit to Ireland’s Permanent Representation to the EU.
