Learn about
your new
home!
Moving to a new country can be exciting and sometimes scary. Learning about
where you will be living may make your child feel more at ease about the move
and get them excited about living in Europe. The School Liaison Officer webpages
for Army Europe all offer a “ Learn about your new home!” section. There are
pages for Germany, Italy, and the Benelux. Kids can watch videos about their new
country, do activities, and learn to say a few words in a the local languages. Go to
europe.armymwr.com/slo and click on your installation to learn about your new
home! Some locations also offer cultural orientations for students. Ask your
SLO what is available in your location.

Welcome to Europe!
