YOUR WORLD, YOUR BUSINESS is a major new European initiative to bring social and environmental issues into school level entrepreneurship education. A collaborative partnership between the European Commission and Junior Achievement-Young Enterprise, it aims to inspire students aged 16-19 to become the kind of entrepreneurs our society increasing needs: creative, dynamic, and passionate about society and the environment.

Children are the only one who can still be shaped, the adults’ way of thinking being too hard to be changed. That’s the only reason why Professor Mrs. Agnes Bartha has written a picture book on ecology subject dedicated to those very young.
The Europe Direct Tarnave Information Centre from Sangeorgiu de Padure in collaboration with the REEA company from Targu-Mures, has worked hard for the booklet entitled “ Attention ! A message is coming from Mars!”, the whole work being coordinated by Istvan Menyhart.

Europe Direct Tarnave has celebrated Europe’s Day among the students of the “St. George” School-centre from Sangeorgiu de Padure. After presenting the short history of European Union, the students and professors there watched the DVD entitled “A day in Europe”. “A dream journey through Europe” was the title of the PP-presentation made by a 6th grade student. Three teams from the 10th grades have checked out their knowledge by solving a questionnaire based on the previously watched material. Two teams turned out to have the same amount of points. In order to decide the winning team, a back-up test was necessary which needed at the same time a very thorough geographical knowledge of Europe. The competing teams were awarded by packages with promotional materials and publications, while the spectators received promotional materials. The event has lasted for 3 hours and 60 persons were present.
