“I study at the European School. I respect European values, traditions, languages and culture. During the online lesson, our teacher talked about the European Union. I found out that the Union currently counts 27 EU countries. I like the EU flag which features a circle of 12 gold stars on a blue background. It was a surprise for me to discover that anthem of Europe is based on Beethoven’s 9th symphony. The euro is the official currency of 19EU Member States. We learned a lot about German, French, Belgian, Swedish, Italian, Austrian, Spanish, Greek and other EU countries’ cultures and traditions, “ wrote the European School student in her letter.
