The meetings took place in secondary schools in the schools of Veneto region that have requested it at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year, free of charge.                                                            

Monday, January 14, 2019 from 09.00 am to 11.00 am at the Gramsci Institute of Padua (PD), the first meeting of the cycle "School of Europe" was held in the presence of about fifty students of the last years of study. The meeting was conducted by the Province of Padua (partner of the Veneto Europe Direct network) and by the Xena Association with the European volunteer.
The duration of the meeting was about 2 hours and the European issues dealt with the priorities of the European Union, European institutions, European citizenship, the future of Europe and the European Solidarity Body.

The meetings targeted the last years of high school classes, in order to interact with the new voters close to 18 years old: the meetings were interactive and oriented on the upcoming elections of the European Parliament starting from the institutions and policies of the European Union. Opportunities for young people, transnational mobility and the future of the Union will be discussed too.

The meetings are in synergy with the "Primavera dell'Europa" (Europe Spring) project of the Representation in Milan of the European Commission to promote learning and discussions in schools on issues related to the European Union.

The cycle of meetings is the result of collaboration between Europe Direct Venezia Veneto , USR Ufficio Scolastico Regionale Veneto and Associazione Xena
