Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools has been awarded a grant from the European Union (EU) for 2009.
The award, about $86,000, will fund “Getting to Know Europe†activities, such as Smith Middle School’s Belgian exchange program, Chapel Hill High School’s exchange program to Normandy, district middle school geography courses for Europe Day in May and professional development for EU learning.
The district hopes the grant will help faculty, students and community members gain a greater understanding of the EU and the connections between North Carolina and the EU.
