European School - The Aim

The Aim

The aims of the schools were expressed in the words of Jean Monnet in 1953:

"Educated side by side, untroubled from infancy by divisive prejudices, acquainted with all that is great and good in the different cultures, it will be borne in upon them as they mature that they belong together. Without ceasing to look to their own lands with love and pride, they will become in mind Europeans, schooled and ready to complete and consolidate the work of their fathers before them, to bring into being a united and thriving Europe."

Famous quotes containing the word aim:

    “Far as we aim our signs to reach,
    Far as we often make them reach,
    Across the soul-from-soul abyss,
    There is an aeon-limit set
    Beyond which they are doomed to miss.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.”
    —Tom Stoppard (b. 1937)
