My Big Friendly Guide to the European Union is an innovative teaching and learning programme. It aims at developing awareness, knowledge and debate at primary school level on the European Union and Ireland’s role within it.
It is children and teacher friendly allowing the students to learn about but also question the European Union. Crucially, it fits perfectly into the current Social Personal and Health Education curriculum, particularly when discussing citizenship. Whether children want to stay in the European Union, change its rules or leave it altogether, they need to understand what the E.U. does and does not do. This programme is about empowering them to make informed decisions to improve the world they live in. So let’s spark debate with Seamie Shamrock!
