This Europe Day activity was planned and delivered by teachers at the Greek School of Wales for pupils aged 9–14.

The aim of the activity was to deepen pupils’ understanding of Europe and the importance of unity, cooperation, and shared values among European countries. Through class discussions, pupils explored the significance of the European Union and reflected on the benefits of countries working together in peace and solidarity.

Pupils then researched and discovered some of the most important and iconic landmarks across Europe, helping them develop a broader awareness of European culture, history, and identity.

As a creative follow-up activity, pupils drew and coloured famous European landmarks. These artworks were then brought together into one collaborative display, symbolising a united Europe made up of many different countries and cultures.

The final piece was arranged as a large, attractive classroom display which now decorates the classroom wall and remains visible to pupils every day, reinforcing their learning in a meaningful and lasting way.

The activity worked very well as it combined discussion, research, and creativity, keeping pupils engaged and allowing different learning styles to be included. It encouraged teamwork and helped pupils understand that despite differences, European countries are connected and united.

Through this activity, pupils learned about key European landmarks, strengthened their understanding of European unity, and developed a greater appreciation of cultural diversity across Europe.
