The origins of today's Europe: EU pioneers

Have you ever wondered how today's Europe has been influenced and shaped by past pioneers? Why did these pioneers believe in a united Europe before it existed?

Take this ninety-minute workshop and help your students understand the milestones of European integration and their relevance today.

Explore together the key events of European integration through solo and group exercises as part of the Visible Thinking Method , which makes information visible while encouraging critical thinking. Students come into contact with the pioneers of the European Union by reflecting on the way their life stories have helped shape Europe today. During the workshop, your group will make connections between Europe's past and present using objects in the museum and fascinating teaching materials.

At the end of the workshop, students will have a better understanding of the history and values of the European Union, the people who built it and a clearer picture of what the EU means to them personally.
