Blue Star Programme
The Blue Star Programme teaches primary school pupils about European cultures and the EU through creative activities and projects which complement the national primary curriculum.
The idea is simple: to foster better understanding and knowledge of Europe among Irish primary pupils in a curriculum friendly manner.
Working in groups, the children produced impressive projects based on EU landmarks which were displayed throughout the school. We held a ‘Europe Day’ which was attended by parents and the wider school community. The highlight of the day was an address, via video link, by Mairéad Mc Guinness, MEP. where she spoke about different aspects of her work in Europe and answered some questions posed by the students.
