Get to know the EU: A site for students

The "Children's Corner" contains a number of games and quizzes, the purpose of which is to acquaint players with the European Union, its structures and the way it works, but also the history and geography of the European continent. There is also a special section for children to be informed, by playing, about their rights.

The "Games and Quizzes" section offers site visitors, ages 6 to 16, the opportunity to play fun and educational games created by the European Commission and others.

In the section "The EU: What is it all about?", Young visitors come across an interactive map of European countries and fun facts about the EU and each country of the Union.

Finally, in the section "Check your rights" there is a wealth of videos, games and information for the two age groups (up to 12 years old, the first and 13 to 18 years old, the second), about the rights of the child.

The same website incorporates the "Teacher's Corner", which contains educational material for children up to 9 years old, from 9 to 12 years old, from 12 to 15 years old and from 15 years old and over. Through the website, teachers have at their disposal material that helps them explain to students the concept of diversity in the EU and introduce them to the cultural, scientific and natural heritage of the countries that make up the European Union.

Special leaflets, in electronic form, explain the national symbols, landmarks and personalities that marked the history of the EU, while a European map depicts the most famous landscapes, products and cultural monuments from each country of the Union.

The material also concerns the protection of the environment, consumer rights, proper nutrition, etc.
