WILLEMSTAD - In 2022, the European Year of the Youth, Europe Direct Curaçao has organized various events and guest lectures for secondary school students.
One of these schools has followed up on this by showing proactive interest in the European Union and in particular the introductory books "Discover Europe". Local manager of Europe Direct Curaçao, mr. Steven Damiana recently presented these books to class 2A of Radulphus College during the Erasmus+ classes. In introducing this curriculum, Steven Damiana had the opportunity to address the students and emphasize the importance of the EU for our young people. Our local young people are often unaware of the fact that they are Union citizens and that because of this they can benefit from the opportunities that Europe offers them.
Curaçao youth usually master several languages, which provides an additional lead when they take advantage of the opportunities that Europe offers them. Europe Direct Curaçao wishes the students of Radulphus College a lot of success and hopes that several classes and schools will show interest in these books, so that our young people become more and more aware of Europe and the associated opportunities.
Europe Direct Curaçao is happy to facilitate the “Discover Europe” books while supplies last. These books are free of charge and are currently available in Dutch and English. If you are interested, you can contact Europe Direct Curaçao via info@europedirectcuracao.com.
Europe Direct Curaçao, an initiative of the Chamber of Commerce & Industry in Curaçao and the Stichting Caribische Belasting en Europawinkel (CBE) has been launched since May of this year. The establishment of EUROPE DIRECT CURAÇAO is financially supported by the European Commission, the executive committee of the European Union. Those looking for information about the European Union usually don't know where to start. The European Commission has therefore set up an information network. This network has been active throughout the EU under the name of Europe Direct for some time, but not yet in the Caribbean region.
