Mr Jan Gregor
On Wednesday, 8 May 2024 thanks to our new friend from the EU school we met Mr. Gregor. He is the vice president of the Fifth Chamber and works at the European Court of Auditors. He also lived and studied in Žďár nad Sázavou. Mr. Gregor explained to us what his job consisted of, how he got his position at The Court of Auditors and he also gave us a short tour around the building. He was open to discuss and answer our questions about his job but even about the EU transparent economic policy. It was really a pleasant experience that has enriched our knowledge.
The Day of Europe
On Thursday, 9 May we took part in celebrations of European Day, which is celebrated in honour of Schuman Declaration in 1950, which laid the basis of the EU as we know it today. In the building of European Parliament we could get to know other institutions, visit the stands of all 27 countries or solve quizzes about the EU history and present. The whole day was accompanied with a performance on the stage outside where we could listen to national songs of the EU countries and appreciate their folklore dances. The most interesting was the Czech- Luxembourgian group of musicians who we got to meet after their performance. We could see The Grand Duke himself with his wife.
