Portumna Community School has been an active participant in the European Parliament Ambassador Schools (EPAS) programme for over ten years. The EPAS Programme is a network of schools across the EU raising awareness of European parliamentary democracy and European citizenship values. Over 70 schools in Ireland are taking part in 2020.
Transition Year students follow a structured programme of learning and activities focused on the European Union. They completed a course booklet, created a school ‘info-point’ on the EU (this year in the form of an online magazine, see below), and helped teach 1st Year students about the EU in their CSPE lessons.
