This lesson starts with a discussion on the creation of the European Union and moves onto Ireland’s decision to join the EU. It concludes with the symbols of the EU.
Tosaíonn an ceacht seo le plé ar chruthú an Aontais Eorpaigh agus bogann sé isteach ar chinneadh na hÉireann dul isteach san Aontas. Críochnaíonn sé le siombailí an Aontais.

Ceacht 2 Rang a 5 agus 6
This lesson is all about Brexit, why it happened, who decided, what it means for the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the EU and what happens after Brexit.
Baineann an ceacht seo ar fad leis an mBreatimeacht, an fáth ar tharla sé, cé a rinne an cinneadh, cad a chiallaíonn sé do Phoblacht na hÉireann agus don chuid eile den Aontas agus cad a tharlaíonn tar éis an Bhreatimeachta.
5th and 6th Class Lesson 3
Ceacht 3 Rang a 5 agus 6
This lesson discusses everything related to the Customs Union, the External Tariff and the Single Market. These are at the heart of the EU membership with the four freedoms of movement.
Sa cheacht seo pléitear gach rud a bhaineann leis an Aontas Custam, leis an Taraif Sheachtrach agus leis an Margadh Aonair. Tá siad seo i gcroílár bhallraíocht AE mar aon leis na ceithre shaoirse gluaiseachta.
5th and 6th Class Lesson 4
Ceacht 4 Rang a 5 agus 6
In this lesson, the children become familiar and discuss EU values. The EU is not only an economic union but also a political union which requires the members to follow certain values. It is not always easy! Children discover those values, compare them with the values of the clubs they belong to, discuss how easy it is to keep them and if countries should be penalised if they don’t follow the EU values. This is extremely topical and very relatable for children.
Sa cheacht seo, éiríonn na páistí eolach agus pléann siad luachanna an AE. Ní hamháin gur aontas eacnamaíoch é an AE ach is aontas polaitiúil é freisin a éilíonn ar chomhaltaí luachanna áirithe a leanúint. Níl sé éasca i gcónaí! Faigheann leanaí amach na luachanna sin, cuireann siad iad i gcomparáid le luachanna na gclubanna lena mbaineann siad, pléann siad cé chomh héasca agus atá sé iad a choinneáil agus ar cheart pionós a ghearradh ar thíortha mura leanann siad luachanna an AE. Tá sé seo thar a bheith tráthúil agus an-inghaolmhar do leanaí.
5th and 6th Class Lesson 5
Ceacht 5 Rang a 5 agus 6
This lesson is dedicated to the European institutions and how they work together. It includes a short simulation game to be played in groups. The European institutions are often considered difficult to understand when actually they are not. The names more than their function can be confusing though!
Tá an ceacht seo tiomnaithe do na hinstitiúidí Eorpacha agus don dóigh a n-oibríonn siad le chéile. Cuimsíonn sé cluiche insamhalta gearr a bheidh le himirt i ngrúpaí. Is minic a mheastar gur deacair na hinstitiúidí Eorpacha a thuiscint cé nach bhfuil sin fíor i ndáiríre. Is féidir leis na hainmneacha mearbhall a chur ort, níos mó ná a bhfeidhmeanna!
5th and 6th Class Lesson 6
Ceacht 6 Rang a 5 agus 6
This lesson is entirely dedicated to the European Union policies. It focuses on a few key areas where the European Union has really changed the rules for 450 million people.
Tá an ceacht seo tiomnaithe go hiomlán do bheartais an Aontais Eorpaigh. Díríonn sé ar chúpla réimse thábhachtacha ina bhfuil an tAontas Eorpach tar éis na rialacha do 450 milliún duine a athrú i ndáiríre.
