![]() I think that my knowledge about EU is surely improved. The project is very important and useful to describe European situation and to let young people come in their future because the European Union will be our future. We must know how EU is organized and how it is administered, what opportunities and what guarantees we have now and we will have in the future. Before the project I didn’t know the actual European political situation and I didn’t know the main steps put into effect to create this area of democracy and peace. So I think this is a good and an interesting project to create the future European citizens. | |

![]() Before last year, I’d never been interested in the theme of peace and personal commitment to keep and promote it. Our work started with the research of the meaning of peace to move on considering different possible ways to protect and promote it. Since peace has not a clear definition, it’s difficult to analyze what can be done in favour of peace keeping: we could just analyze the different attitudes people have in front of problems, whether they cooperate in preventing them. According to the project "Conoscere l'Europa, fare gli Europei", this year we also developed a reflection on how and what people are committed in promoting peace, thus looking at EU, namely its history, its meaning, its main goals and the way they may be achieved. Moreover, we focused particular attention on the problem of EU enlargement, since it is a very debated issue. Before starting the project I have no knowledge of what EU means and what is really deplorable is that people, the youngest and I included, have a very lack of information about such issue, even if it is their concern. To become an active citizen and to express one’s personal opinion, one has to be informed on EU and on its matters like peace keeping, enlargement, integration, or whatever. That is why in my opinion it's useful that the analysis of such problems has been proposed in the school context: the project on EU has been the best one I worked on as a student. I think that we have to better understand what happens around us, nowadays or in a near future, more than what happened a long time ago. edited by pastoricchiom (2006-02-08 17:04:42) | |

![]() In my opinion, taking part in the project “Conoscere l’Europa, Fare gli Europei” is very important and useful in order to understand the reality which we live in. I learned what is the European Union, how it was born, how it is organized and what are the purpose of the Member States. The first step of our project was interview young people about EU. Then we read some articles (Why Europe must say yes to Turkey, The impossibility of saying no, The Kremlin’s control freak) taken from The Economist. We also analyzed the theme of Peace and individual responsibility in Martha Cooley’s novel (The Archivist, 1998), we participated in two lectures and last but not least we watched a documentary about WWII, in particular about Shoah and Holocaust. The Turkish question interested me particularly. It is difficult to make a decision: it represents a bridge to Islam, it belongs to NATO, but it hasn’t got the necessary requests in order to became a Member State. I think it is very important promote information about EU. This is our reality and we have to know it. | |

![]() I think that promote project activities in order to improve young people’s knowledge about EU is so important. From our interviews and with following analysis we know that the knowledge of what is Europe, what implies the EU and which are the consequences in our daily life is so poor and based on false ideas. This is a hot question because EU represents our future and we must comprehend what is happening; therefore the promotion of these projects in the schools is the right solution to improve EU’s knowledge. | |

![]() Before beginning this project i knew not much about EU,and i thought to it as a distant reality from what mine is. Then, we analysed some constitutional documents,we read some articles taken from "The Economist", we took part to the debates, and we interviewed people about their knowledge on EU .After that i realized that EU is something in which we all are involved,it has to be and is part of our life and we are still too ignorant about it.I think that this project helped me to be aware of EU, it has been interesting also because we connected it to the previous project on peace and then to the novel "The Archivist" by Martha Cooley. It allowed us to reflect on our present and our life. | |
