COMMUNICATION - Two pen pals travelling in the European Union - Sophie and Paul are discovering Europe

French girl Sophie invites her pen pal Paul from Munich to visit her in Strasbourg. And what is located there in Sophie’s Alsatian hometown? The European Parliament, the EU Institution elected by European people. Sophie and Paul are curious and decide to embark on an interesting tour without leaving town. They find out which countries belong to the European Union, where the policies for European citizens are decided, and why so many EU countries share a common currency. “Sophie und Paul” is not a dry political pamphlet, but an easy going cartoon booklet for children aged six to ten years. A game, many quizzes and drawing challenges invite the kids to actively participate in the journey.
