EU lecture for 5 schools in Veles

On 22 January, the EU InfoCentre and EU Info Point in Veles organized a presentation for seventh and eighth grade pupils from the five schools in Veles about the EU.

About 100 students from elementary schools “Ss. Cyril and Methodius”, “Blagoj Kirkov”, “Vasil Glavinov”, “Jordan H. Dzinot” and “Blaze Koevski” attended the lecture about the history of the EU, its institutions, as well as the joint achievements of the European nations. Following the lecture, they took part in a Questions & Answers session and a short EU Quiz.

In the following period the EU InfoCentre planes to organize similar events in all other EU Info Points situated in Kumanovo, Kavadarci, Kocani, Bitola, Gostivar and Tetovo.

The activity is a part of wider programme entitled “Open doors for students” aiming to provide information, fostering communication with the youth and broadening the knowledge about EU matters through direct contact with the students. The EU InfoCentre opened its doors for the students from the primary and secondary schools, as well as for the university students.
