In addition to the academic content, we offer a lighter side in\u00a0Fun Stuff<\/a>, and opportunities to go beyond our site in\u00a0Links & Resources<\/a>. The six units in the left hand menu are the heart of this educational site. In each unit, you will find a selection of topics, briefings, discussion questions and activities. If you are thinking about an EU-related topic for a course paper\/project, it’s worth taking a look at the\u00a0Independent Study Unit Topics<\/a> to get you started. And if Eurojargon is getting you down, visit the\u00a0Terms & Acronyms<\/a> section for a ready reference.<\/p>\n

This introductory section will help you learn the basic information you’ll need to know in order to complete the other activities on this website. Remember, you can always refer back to this section when you’re exploring other sections of the website!<\/p>\n

For French Immersion Students!<\/strong><\/p>\n

French links and news sites are included throughout this website. Look for the symbol\u00a0FR<\/strong> for these French sources! There are also many French links listed in the\u00a0Links & Resources<\/a> section of this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
