A new activity: Christmas traditions
In European countries Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year. It is a time for giving and a celebration to share with family and friends. In some countries, St Nicholas announces Christmas time, which in some other countries lasts until after the New Year. Christmas itself remains a time for reflecting on the past and thinking about the year ahead. Select, describe and share a local custom or tradition on our Web site

Citizenship starts much closer to home: in our houses, neighbourhoods and schools .

der Hoeven talked about European citizenship at the ELOS conference, and stressed that the path to living together in Europe starts at school. Read the entire speech given by Minister van der Hoeven:
