Welcome
The Scottish European Educational Trust was established in 1993. It aims to promote and encourage education about Europe to students at schools, colleges and universities throughout Scotland. It works closely with the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament, Learning Teaching Scotland, Europe Direct, the British Council and Scottish CILT.
Current activities include:
- A national Euroquiz for primary school pupils
- A Speaking Competition for secondary school pupils
- Provision of class quizzes for primary and secondary schools

“Europe and our membership of the European Union are now part and parcel of our daily lives. It is therefore important that we encourage our young people to learn more about European countries and SEET does this in ways that catch their interest.
As our society and economies become closer linked, promoting better understanding of Europe among our young citizens is a sound investment for the future.”
Gerald Wilson, C.B.
Chairman
