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 Euroquiz for Primary Schools, a Speaking Competition for Secondary Schools, a “Learning, Living and Working in Europe” event for University students, Provision of Europe-Day quizzes for primary and secondary schools and provision of speakers to schools and university groups.
“Increasingly Europe and our membership of the European Union are becoming part and parcel of our daily lives. Since the latest enlargement of the EU we are seeing more of our fellow Europeans coming to Scotland to live and work.
In these circumstances it is important that we encourage our young people to learn more about European countries. The Scottish European Educational Trust seeks to do this in ways that catch their interest.
As our society and economies become closer linked, promoting better understanding of Europe among our future adult citizens is a sound investment in the future.”
Gerald Wilson, C.B., Chairman
