    Victoria - France (13 years old)

    My place was the European Council. In it laws and texts are adopted to protect the rights of men and citizens in Europe.
    The Council inspired me respect, the power of Europe and the unity of the countries, united under the symbol of one and the same flag: the one of the European Union.
    In our team, the collaboration was quite good: almost everyone talked on the video and the other student was very very kind.

    The place we are going to visit ARTE. It is a French and German television channel. Arte means Association Relating to European Television.
    I found it a beautiful building, that it was modern and new.

    C/Tour of the European quarter
    1.our place was the Place of Europe.
    The purpose of the Place of Europe is to make Europe and its institutions known to the citizens.
    2) I think it was a cooperative and enriching activity with other countries (Greece, Spain)
    3) In the team we all looked for information for our text by exchanging with each other and we had a lot of information available on the spot (=videos, a tablet with texts..)
    We spread out to look for information and we got together to pool this information. We actually made an audio.

    Place of Europe
    We went to the place of Europe to investigate the creation of the European Union and the adhesion of the other member countries. It was quite difficult to understand but we managed to do it and it was quite nice to do it. Our group was very friendly and they took the time to explain to us when we didn't understand, even though they spoke French. I was able to speak in Spanish and it was very nice to speak my second mother tongue.
    I think that the European Union is very important because it is a trace of how the map of Europe was formed and that allows us to live on a land now.

    Clara, Spain

    This activity was more relaxing, we made new teams and practiced our english skills once again, which was pretty nice. I met great people too and we had to work on a little speech about the European Parliament, which was the place of Europe my team was given. To elaborate a speech taking into account all the points of view we had on our team gave a great result. I think we were all able to collaborate with our own ideas and impressions. It was also interesting the part where we had to do some historical research about the building we were talking about. It was a good activity!

    Apostolis,Greece

    This activity was very interesting and relaxing. We made new teams and also new friends and we practised our english. With my team we worked about the Lieu de Europe and we wrote a little information about it and also we wrote our feelings. For example when we went inside we felt very relaxed, very happy and more. This is a good place to visit when you go in Strasburg!

Our objective this time was to visit the Institution given to us randomly by our teachers, take pictures, do research about the history and what the institution was about, and then voice record our speech.

    I was in the team that went to the building of human rights. It was great to find out so much information about that incredible building with the same incredible history. We were lucky 'cause we met a tourist guide that knew a lot about this building. Also it was funny to work together with the other students :)
