 Celebrating Europe Day in North East Wales
European issues will be on the agenda for two Wrexham schools
taking part in events to mark Europe Day (Friday, May 9)- exactly 51 years
since the creation of the European Union. Students from Darland High School and St Christopher’s School from Wrexham County
Borough will join their counterparts from Ysgol Dinas Bran (Llangollen), Ysgol Brynhyfryd (Ruthin)
and Blessed Edward Jones High School (Rhyl) in Denbighshire for two awareness sessions arranged by
Europe Direct, a public information centre which aims to raise awareness of European institutions,
policies and programmes.
The events, arranged by Europe Direct in collaboration with the European
Commission’s Directorate General of External Relations, will include
creative activities at Darland High School in Rossett, followed by a
debate on European issues being hosted at County Hall, Ruthin.
Karima Saqui, a development co-operation ambassador from Brussels will
travel to north Wales to take part in events during the day.
The day’s activities will end with a roundtable discussion with the
European Commission ambassador and a Christian Aid representative to
discuss issues such as humanitarian aid, human rights, the environment,
debt, health and education.
