FINAL INITIATIVE COMPLETION REPORT «EUROPE ARE US»

We have called our Project` Europe are us´, because we wanted to make people conscious about the fact that we all form Europe. So we started finding out about general aspects of the countries and we also looked into what Europe offered. We asked people about what they knew about this topic and finally, we concentrated on  the European programmes for teenagers.

The first step  in our project was collecting information about the countries which form the European community , the European  parliament and all the information about  European programmes, prizes etc..The comic we had to read was great help to find this data. So we prepared together with our mates from the other Eurocascales group  posters in order to exhibit them in the main corridor of the school where parents and students usually pass.

After that we decided to check what people from Murcia knew about Europe  so we prepared a survey with general  questions and went out .We recounted the survey and found out that many people Know facts but there are still  people who are far from it.

 We also had an appointment with the Europe Direct Director in Murcia. It was really interesting since they explained and made clear many aspects of the topic we didn’t know  and most important, they gave us the source to look into any European issue, together with interesting websites to get information about anything that we could be interested in.

Finally, since our school participates in Comenius which is one of the European programmes, we took advantage of this fact and interviewed some students from different countries about the European programmes for teenagers and their experience with it. They all agreed about being a positive experience which links European teenagers to make us aware that `Europe are us´.
