The Blue Star Programme teaches primary school pupils about European cultures and the EU through creative activities and projects which complement the primary school curriculum.
The idea is simple: to foster better understanding and knowledge of Europe and how it affects the lives of Irish citizens among Irish primary pupils in a curriculum friendly manner. We have been taking part in this initiative since 2020. Each of our classes studies a different EU country under the following four elements: historical, geographical, cultural and creative, and institutional. We develop an array of projects and displays and present these as part of Europe Week which we celebrate in May.
