Welcome to the schools' section of the Youth and Education website. If you're a student and you want to learn more about the European Union or you're a teacher needing access to EU teaching resources, then stay and explore!

This site includes a selection of fun and educational games for your students to enjoy. We particularly recommend the Europlus game for a whistlestop tour of the EU's newest members: your students can get to know their European neighbours without leaving the classroom. Look under European Day of Languages for our on-line version of Languages take you further! and information about the Double Club: teaching football and language skills together.

If you want to find out about information sources available to the UK education sector, visit this page of useful links to a range of organisations who can assist you. You can also find out about funding and mobility opportunities for young people and those who work with them by visiting the Eurodesk website.

In 2007 we celebrate the EU@50, to mark the anniversary of the signature of Treaty of Rome in 1957 there is an animated timeline showing the history and development of the EU.

We have provided guides to working and studying abroad and there are some ideas for holiday fun on the events page. Students - make your voice heard on the subject of the EU? If you and your fellow students have something to say, then why not take part in one of the national youth forums, such as the European Youth Parliament. Alternatively, click on the forums section of the website to see how you can create your own discussion forum on a subject of your choice.
