space mission!
„ Welcome to space, to the universe of Greater Europe …
Here is your mission:
to release from this magic box a very important message
for all the nations of Greater Europe.
School is over for today. You’re walking home quietly, thinking about the
homework you have to do, as well as the games you were playing this morning
before school …
You must report immediately to your space station,
the Council of Europe.
But before you can reach your space station
and to make your adventure a success, you must first travel
across several galaxies and solve all the clues.
A golden star like this one is hidden on each page.
Once you have collected all 12 gold stars in the blue box,
the secret message will be released. Be careful though!
And watch out for traps!
Ouch! Something strange hits you on the head! But it’s OK, there’s no harm
done. You even smile, imagining that a meteorite has just fallen to the Earth.
And you’re absolutely right! You pick up the fallen object. It’s a small sky-blue
box, decorated with yellow stars. As you open it a very mysterious voice says …
Suddenly the sky seems very deep …
‘galaxies’, ‘space station’, ‘the Council
of Europe’, ‘gold stars’, ‘Greater
Europe’ … It’s unbelievable!
Good luck on your adventure. It’s over to you now!
Don’t forget, you represent your country and perhaps
all the children in Greater Europe too.“
The meaning of all these
words isn’t clear to you yet,
but the following pages will guide
you on your journey through
the universe of Greater Europe!

A very special

Play, don’t cheat!!
Sport is irst and foremost a game. But sometimes it spills
over into acts of violence, even fatal tragedies, especially
among spectators at sports grounds. The Council of Europe,
with its 1985 Convention on spectator violence, says no to
violence!
In this galaxy, space vehicles are lined up on the
starting line. A contest is about to begin.
Quick, choose your team! Do you know the rules
for this race and the rules of sport in general?
Sport is for everyone: children, adults, the elderly, the disabled,
foreigners, men and women.
Some athletes want to go faster, further – but at what cost?
They take drugs which ruin their health. The Council of Europe
campaigns to eliminate doping in sport.

Bac to Earth!

Wrong way! You fall back to Earth!
All is not lost though; here you can see all the lags of Greater
Europe. Have you spotted your country’s lag yet?
12 gold stars on a blue background, this is the European lag.
The number 12 is not a igure taken at random. Does it suggest
anything to you? Maybe the 12 months of the year?
Do you know that a circle is a sign of union, the union of all coun-
tries? The Council of Europe created this lag in 1955; it was then
adopted by the European Union in 1986 which today comprises
27 member states.
In 1971, the Council of Europe chose its European Anthem ,
the Ode to Joy from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. In 1986 it was
adopted by the European Union. Today it is the anthem for the
whole of Europe.

through diversity
What an amazing galaxy!
No two stars are the same; no two spacecraft are alike …
The mystery of identity through diversity!
You are either a girl or a boy. Both children and adults have
different skin colours. Some may be unable to walk, have an
illness, or just don’t think like you. In short, we are all different
but we all have the same rights, rights as human beings. We
are all different but all equal!
Europe is like a face that changes , moves and
expresses feelings. Within Europe, frontiers have often been
altered over the course of history and people have become more
and more mobile, moving from one country to another. All this
alters the balance between minorities and the majority.
Racism or intolerance means not accepting someone who
differs outwardly from us or who lives differently. It may be a
violent attack, or even just a joke about foreigners. We must
combat racism , which is unfair and can do terrible harm.
Majority, minority, it’s magic! You live in your own
country, so you are said to belong to the majority. People from
another country − there are fewer of them − belong to the
minority. Now, imagine yourself leaving your country of birth to
go and live in another country. Well, as if by magic, all at once
you belong to a minority in the new country!
Identity through diversity, now do you understand
this galaxy’s message? All in all, if there wasn’t a multitude of
contrasts in Europe, it wouldn’t be Europe!
