The Jean Monnet Project Mini-EU Day brought together 85 students and teachers on Friday, May 14th for the first time. The event began with Professor Crina Viju-Miljusevic <\/a>providing an introduction to the European Union (EU) and the meaning of celebrating Europe Day which was held on May 9th. Many of the students were enrolled in international business classes at their high school.<\/p>\n

A brief presentation with videos highlighting European Culture (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Rn3dNTgz_9A<\/a>) and Galway, Ireland as a 2020 Capital of Culture (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=na63PVAyAXc<\/a>) was followed by a panel presentation with representatives from three embassies in Ottawa: Delegation of the European Union to Canada, Embassy of Ireland and Embassy of Portugal. Each offered their insights important to the culture of their respective country and the diversity of European cultures. Portugal currently holds the Presidency<\/a> of the Council of the European Union.<\/p>\n

During the Mini-EU Day, students and teachers learned about the value of culture bringing Europeans together, strengthening communities across Europe and deepened their understanding of the impact of culture in Europe. With two fun activities designed for the event, students played trivia games of well known European people, sports, food, geography, fashion, art and architecture and symbols.<\/p>\n
