"Europe – easy peasy": 50 pages of crafting, guessing, painting for 9-13 year olds

Half a million copies printed over a period of almost ten years in Germany alone, that is the success story of a brochure for 9 to 13 year olds developed by the Commission Representation in Berlin. "Europe – easy peasy" or "Europa kinderleicht" as it is called in German, was also licenced and reproduced by Commission Representations in Lithuania, Luxembourg and Romania. Over more than 50 pages and several annexes children learn about geography, history, people, languages and the culture of Europe and the EU. Crafting tasks, quizzes, drawing, mystery games and other tasks make the brochure an amazingly interactive pedagogical tool. German 16 federal Länder also reproduced the brochure adding regional content of their own.

The current 7th reprint contains numerous updates, such as those on Erasmus+, the new European Commission, the introduction of the Euro in Lithuania since 2015 and many more. The brochure also has several pages which point the kids to further information, namely the Europe Direct Information Centres.
