ARCHIVE:

European civil servants go back to school to talk to young people about what the EU does.

The "Back to School" project sends EU civil servants back to school for a day – if possible to a school where they were once a student.

The initiative was launched in 2007 by the Commission and the German government to mark the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, and successive presidencies of the Council of the EU have continued it. This year, 11 countries are participating and will welcome EU civil servants back to their old schools. Schools not counting EU civil servants among their alumni are welcome to participate too.
Civil servants of all levels take part and serve as EU ambassadors for a day. In the spring, humanitarian aid commissioner Kristalina Georgieva visited a secondary school in Elena, Bulgaria. The students she met with, aged 13 to 17, asked many questions, in particular how she saw "Europe". She listened to their point of view and asked what being European meant to them.
