What is it all about?
- The Blue Star Programme is an education initiative for primary school pupils across Ireland. The programme aims to foster a strong sense of awareness of the EU that reaches far beyond the school walls and out into the wider community. In order to be awarded the Blue Star and our very own European Union Flag our class will need to carry out projects in relation to the history, geography, culture, creativity and institutions of the EU. These classroom projects and activities will form an action plan designed by our teacher and must incorporate elements that include information about the foundation and development of the European Union, the cultural diversity of Europe what the EU does and how its work affects the lives of citizens.
