Discussing about Belarus

Audio-Visual civic initiative

​

It’s in the EU’s Eastern Partnership and falls under the European Neighbourhood Policy, but how much do you know about Belarus?

​

Our Student Leaders, James & Julia, were able to learn more in an exchange project co-organised by the Association of Foreign Affairs (UPF) in Lund and the Centre for Swedish Studies in Minsk back in April.

​

They produced a radio show that might help to clear a few things up:

Knowledge about the EU

Street civic initiative

​

Our Student Leader, Guillermo, asked to spanish citizens at the main square of Palencia about general issues concerning the knowledge about EU, as well as personal opinion about EU  and its impact in Spain.

​

The opinions collected from citizens throughout the initiative highlighted that the Union had brought solidarity, a stronger currency, a common regulation on many issues, free movement of people, the common market, funds, integration between Europeans, and the fact that we were stronger together. However, we found few criticism: lost of identity, complexity of decision-making process, the fact that EU looks more about banks rather than about citizens, and that there are still inequalities.

Migration crisis & the EU

Street civic initiative

​

The initiative consisted of engaging people in the city and to ask them to write on a poster their opinions on  how the EU handled the so-called ‘migration and refugee crisis’ and what it should change in the next few years.

​

The opinions collected from citizens throughout the initiative highlighted a general lack of confidence in how the EU managed the migration and refugee crisis so far.

Our Student Leader, Francesco, discussed about the EU with other fellow students from Collegio Universitario Mazza in Padova.
