This year marks the 50th anniversary of the European Union, and offers us a chance to think about what the Europe of tomorrow will need to offer its future citizens. The enthusiasm to learn is already there – it is often young people themselves who raise questions about international issues, such as environmental protection and tackling poverty in the developing world. Information and communication technology has made the world seem a smaller place, with young people being leading users of the internet.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department for Education and Skills and the British Council are launching a year-long project called Learning Together, which aims to increase partnerships between the UK and other European schools, through programmes such as Comenius and eTwinning.
