Staff Awards 2019: Exceptional Citizen Award goes to Dr Emmanuelle Schon-Quinlivan
Dr Emmanuelle Schon-Quinlivan of the Department of Government and Politics has received an Exceptional Citizen Award at the annual President's Staff Awards.
Dr Schon-Quinlivan has been awarded for her innovative and ambitious work to bring awareness of EU citizenship rights and responsibilities to Irish primary school learners (and, through them, to their parents).
Co-funded by Erasmus+, My Big Friendly Guide to the European Union (BFGtoEU) is a teaching and learning programme. It is children friendly allowing the students to learn about but also question the European Union. It contains lessons which are class appropriate, including lots of active learning. For teachers, the programme has detailed lesson plans and accompanying resources. Crucially, it is carefully slotted into the current Social Personal and Health Education curriculum, particularly when discussing citizenship.
