The programme encourages pupils to learn about the European Union including EU elections, the role of MEPs and institutions.

European Movement Ireland is the national implementation body for the Blue Star Programme.

Participating classes learn about European history, culture, and the European institutions in a fun, informative and accessible way that complements the national curriculum.

Once schools have completed the programme, they are awarded certificates of achievements, signed by the Minister of State for European Affairs.
