SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, The mission of the European schools is as clear today as it was 70 years ago, and that is to immerse children of all ages in multilingualism and multiculturalism so that our youth can be convinced from their own experience of learning that European states share common values and that our differences make us stronger.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Europe needs to fling its doors, including its school doors wide open. Otherwise we will not manage to harness the potential to educate our youth in a European Union that can prepare. If the past years have shown us anything for more change and further adaptation, and I refer specifically to Ukraine, Moldova and the Western Balkans.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, We have a responsibility to address our remaining questions on resources, on infrastructure, on staff recruitment and quality of European school education. And we should be proud of the standards we have and the ones that we need to uphold while at the same time be ready to reform. So on this 70th anniversary of the European School of Luxembourg, we celebrate 70 years of inspiring pro-European teaching with a resolve to ensure that in seven years from now, we can celebrate further achievements in European school education.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, When you leave this school, don't forget your experience here. And please travel and study abroad. Go on Erasmus and avail of all the opportunities that lay before you, because Europe is most of all about opportunity. And when you do that, you get involved, find your voice, find the cause you feel passionately about. Speak up and lead. Because I truly believe in the great Europeans that you will become. Thank you.
