Information about Committee Europe
 
The Committee Europe is based on the idea of bringing together students of all kinds of school from as many as possible European countries for a mutual cultural exchange, to eliminate prejudices and to stabilize the idea of a European citizenship. This is carried out in common work, following given topics and personal meeting of students and teachers during school events of sports, music, linguistic, cultural and/or scientific themes. A special objective is the integration of disabled children in all sorts of work.


Committee Europe’s Events, so far

In 2012 EuroViking is going to take place in Aarhus, Denmark in a joint venture program between Behandlingshjemmet Bögholt, a social institution with children dealing with difficult social backgrounds, Solbjergskolen and Vestergaardsskolen, both public schools from Kindergarden to 9th/10th grade, VIA University College, Teachers College, Aarhus and Moesgård Museum, Aarhus.

The event is from June 6th, day of arrival, till Sunday 10th, day of departure. The overall subject is history starting with the Viking Age with the aim of finding out what brings us together in a common past and find answers towards what Europe looks like today.

We would like to thank everyone, who contributed and has made an effort for the benefit of this common European Event. Also we are proud, that the organizing team has done an excellent work together to make this event come true.

At the museum the children will be divided into seven different groups, and each of these groups will participate in seven different Viking activities during the day. Each one of these activities will last 45 minutes, and there will be a period of 15 minutes between activities.

Feldzeichen zu Friedenszeichen  - (Field signs becoming Peace signs)

Our visit to Kalkriese

Most of the historians agree that it is pretty sure the big battle of the year 9 AD (three Roman legions beaten by troops of Germanic tribes, which stopped the Roman expansion further to the North) had taken place in Kalkriese near Osnabrück. Ten years ago a museum was established very close to the battlefield.

The famous mask of a Roman horseman of Kalkriese became the starting point of a school contest, some years ago: All schools in our area were asked to participate in the competition which consisted in making peace signs out of the old Roman field or combat signs, in other words transforming the war sign into a peace sign. Many schools and pupils (several thousands of boys and girls) took part and you can see the results in the museum park ... and in our school as well.

The peace treaties of Westphalia  -  our visit to Osnabrück

After more than 25 years of a very hard war (the Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648) the powers in place agreed to start peace negociations, in the Catholic city of Münster and the Protestant city of Osnabrück (50 km from each other). The result was the first peace congress in history, the beginning of peace diplomacy.

In 1648, several treaties were signed, one of the results was the independance of the Netherlands (from Spain), and as all countries represented in EuroPAXket were involved in that war and the peace treaties, we had the idea to show you our regional capital Osnabrück where the last treaty was signed, in October, 1648.

Nowadays, Osnabrück is thus considered the most famous peace city in Germany; there are congresses and meetings of all kinds related to peace activities.

 

The proximity of Kalkriese and Osnabrück explains why we called our project PAXket (PAX = Peace) - the second part of PAXket (KET) is related to basketball, the dominating sport in our town - see our local pride, the  professional team of the Artland-Dragons.de
