Just shortly after the International European Day on 9 May, the EU became a lot closer to us in the most literal sense of the word as 21 students together with their teachers from different schools across Europe – Carl-Zeiss Oberschule (Berlin), Institut Joan Brossa (Barcelona), Liceo Scientifico Cavour (Rome), XI Liceum Ogólnoksztacace (Krakow) – arrived in Tallinn.

The primary purpose of the visit was to participate in the transnational meeting of the Erasmus+ school partnership project „Yeurope – Making an Online Student Magazine“. The following four days were filled with hard work – discussing and writing together and giving finishing touches to the articles for the first issue of the magazine. But as you know, all work and no play makes everyone and everything very dull, so additionally, the
days also contained lots of edutainment – city tours, visits to the museums and singing together on Freedom Square in the centre of Tallinn.

We learned a lot about each other, what makes us tick, what we share and how we differ. Hopefully, the articles in this magazine reflect both our similarities and differences and make the readers on one hand, reflect on what the EU means in their everyday life and on the other hand, wish to know more about the European diversity.
