Teaching the EU: Bringing Modern Europe to your Classroom

Regarded as one of the most successful peace projects in history, the EU is an instrumental part of
modern international relations. As such, knowledge of the EU, its institutions and policies, can be an
important component to any high school social studies lesson. As one of the U.S.'s main partners in
trade, security and politics, the importance of the partnership cannot be understated. We offer a
variety of educational resources for high school teachers, college professors, and students of all ages.

strategy in front of a panel of judges at the EU Delegation. Learn more.
EU Simulations – "Model EU"

EU simulations (Model EU) are an excellent way for high school and college students to learn first-
hand about how EU institutions work. Imagine sitting behind a table representing one of the EU's
Member States at a European Council meeting or as a commissioner representing the European
Commission before a meeting of the Council of the EU. There are many ways to run Model EU and
we've developed some toolkits to help you get started. Learn more.
