The 5-Year Achievement Award

Since the inception of the Blue Star Programme in 2011-2012, we have been blown away by the work so many pupils and teachers have put into the Programme, fostering better knowledge and understanding of the EU and how it affects our lives through fun, creative classroom projects and activities. In order to acknowledge the fantastic continuous involvement of so many schools across Ireland, we’ve decided to reward those who have participated for 5 years in the Programme with a specially-commissioned award.

The 5-Year Achievement Award is our way of showing our gratitude to those schools who keep participating in the Blue Star Programme year-on-year and make it such an important part of their daily classroom life.
