What is Europe Direct?

Europe Direct aims to raise awareness of the European Union and its impact on daily life among citizens – from business people and students to students and consumers.

Attention Teachers!
Free resources for schools on the European Union
Where can you find a statue with more clothes than one would find in any woman's wardrobe? Did they really use eggs to build a bridge in Prague? Could there still be an island where no female, either human or animal, is allowed? Find out more about the European Union along with lots of other fascinating facts on the 27 member countries from 'Passport to the European Union'. The booklet includes stickers of coins, flags and buildings and a map to stick your stickers on.
To celebrate Europe Day (9th May) the Representation of the European Commission in the UK is making 100, 000 copies of 'Passport to the European Union' available to schools and similar organisations free of charge. Just click here to order your copies
