Hey! This is Sabrina, Margaux B., Louise, Marion, and Lisa G. This week we split into two groups and went to talk to our schoolmates, teachers, and staff members. We asked them what "being European" meant to them. Depending on how old they were, we noticed they knew more or less about Europe. Some were right, others were not so much but, in the end, we hope this question made them think about it!
