Murcia Región Europea Europe in the classroom

We deliver talks in educational centres for students at all levels, but preferably for high school students (compulsory secondary education, upper secondary education, and vocational training), as well as for the two last years of primary school (Year 5th and 6th). These talks aim at awaking the interest, training students and contributing to their consciousness raising as EU citizens. The ideas to be conveyed are about Europe symbols, its institutions, functioning, history and how belonging to the EU affects their daily life. We are also open to topics proposed by centres, or requests of our collaboration in other activities, providing that their focus is the European Union and its policies. Currently, we are delivering talks on the following topics:

• The European Union in general (symbols, institutions, history, values...)
• Employment and mobility opportunities 
• Desinformation: what it is, how to identify it....
• Green deal

Centres interested in receiving some talk can request it sending an email to europedirect-rm@carm.es. Here you can see the lasts talks and activities in which we have taken part.

This competition, aimed at preschool and primary school students in the Region of Murcia, reached its 24th edition in 2025. Its objective is to introduce young children to Europe. A calendar is created using the winning drawings. Participating schools receive materials from the EU Publications Office.

The competition is usually held in autumn. The 24th edition took place in 2025. You can see the winning drawings here.

We have made a selection of resources available online to ease educators the teaching of the European Union to their students.
