Comenius

The Comenius programme focuses on the first phase of education, from pre-school and primary to secondary schools.
It is relevant for all members of the education community: pupils, teachers, local authorities, parents’ associations, non-government organisations, teacher training institutes, universities and all other educational staff.
Part of the lifelong learning program, Comenius seeks to develop knowledge and understanding among young people and educational staff of the diversity of European cultures, languages and values.
It helps young people acquire the basic life skills and competence necessary for their personal development, for future employment and for active citizenship.
The programme addresses issues strongly related to current discussions and developments in school policy. Priorities are set annually.

Comenius has following goals:

1. To improve and increase the mobility of pupils and educational staff in different Member States
2. To enhance and increase partnerships between schools in different Member States, with at least three million pupils taking part in joint educational activities by 2010  
3. To encourage language learning, innovative ICT-based content, services and better teaching techniques and practices 
4. To enhance the quality and European dimension of teacher training 
5. To improve pedagogical approaches and school management

The Comenius programme focuses on the following current priority areas:

• Motivation for learning and learning-to-learn skills
• Key competences: improving language learning; greater literacy; making science more attractive; supporting entrepreneurship; and reinforcing creativity and innovation 
• Digital educational content and services 
• School management 
• Addressing socio-economic disadvantages and reducing early school leaving 
• Participation in sports 
• Teaching diverse groups of pupils 
• Early and pre-primary learning

The history goes back to 1955. At that time, the Euro­pean Union existed only in the form of the Euro­pean Coal and Steel Community, with just six Member States.
But a separate body with a larger member­ship - the Council of Europe - had been set up several years earlier and was busy defending human rights and promot­ing European culture.The Council of Europe was considering what symbol to adopt for its own use.After much discussion, the present design was adopted a circle of twelve gold stars on a blue background.

In various traditions, twelve is a symbolic number representing perfection. It is also, of course, the number of months in a year and the number of hours shown on a clock face. The circle is, among other things, a symbol of unity. So the European flag was born, representing the ideal of unity among the peoples of Europe.

The Council of Europe then encouraged other European institutions to adopt the same flag and, in 1983, the European Parliament took up the call. Finally, in 1985, the flag was adopted by all EU heads of State and government as the official emblem of the European Union which, in those days, was called the European Communities. All European institutions have been using it since the beginning of 1986.
The European flag is the only emblem of the European Commission - the EU's executive arm.
