Eurocubes : An explanation of Europe for young audiences

The goal of this animation is to introduce young audiences who were brought up in a world without intra-european frontiers  to the cultural particularities of each member of the European Union.

In this activity, children construct totemic structures using wooden painted cubes that correspond to a particular european country. By placing the cubes in the correct order, the children uncover an illustration on each surface of the totem: a mythical figure, a culinary speciality, a renowned monument…. Following this, each totem is placed on top of a large sheet which depicts the map of the European Union. The animator then discusses the illustrations together with the children, explaining the history and symbols , singing with them, etc..

To reinforce their newfound knowledge , a typical object from each European country mentioned in the game is placed onto a table. The children must then place these items in place of the totems that correspond with them! At the end of the activity, each child recites a surprising fact about the European Union which serves as a reflection on the day’s encounter with Europe.
