Considering the results of the interviews about EU, it is easy to understand that usually people have only a superficial knowledge about EU. Lots of people ignore the aim of the Enlargement process, even if nowadays it is a very important point of the development of the Union. As it can be read in the quotation, the "unique challenge" posed is integration among citizens, a substantial means "extending a zone of stability and prosperity".
As a consequence, stability and prosperity are considered the most important aims of the Enlargement and the process tries to guarantee them linking together a larger and larger number of Countries.
It must be underlined that Enlargement is a process that makes the Member States face a lot of new and hot problems, particulary regarding policies with other nations. The interviews analysed people's perception about the Turkish debate: they are mostly frightened because of cultural and religious differences but if we analyse the problem in depth, we will find it is the result of several aspects, ranging from Turkish weight in European devices to religion and from wealth to human rights.
In my opinion, there is a huge lack of information about the problems discussed so far mostly involving mass-media but also school subjects. Due to mass-media, people perceive European problems as a far reality and European devices as something mysterious! Considering the education of young people, in Italy there is not a school subject providing information about contemporary European challenges or about EU history and this is a problem because in this way even young people are kept distant from the organisation involving their own nation. In conclusion, I think the most important step to promote integration is to institute a school subject regarding EU.
