Check out this project created by Debating Europe to give students the opportunity to debate with fellow students from other European countries, and learn more about the work of the European Union. Register through facebook to join the Skype lesson called: What does Europe mean to you?. Do you dare to set up your own lesson? Just let me know. I Would love to.
I think this link is very interesting. It is important that young people count on help of European institutions to come to understand the adverse circumstances in which the youth lives in UE.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the statement about there are young citizens hungry to interrogate on all the big issues, but I am not completely sure that this people want to ask their politicians, unfortunately, the politicians don´t inspire many confidence now.
Besides, I believe that there are not many young people that know this platform and I have doubts that there are many who are fluent in English enough to use this resort.
In any case, it would be necessary showing to students this kind of platforms to debating about policy and recover the confidence in democracy . ‘Debating Europe.eu’ is a good option.
I am glad you liked it, and i hope you will help us encourage students to participate. teamwork can solve the language barrier.Once you have the information and you have come to your own conclussions, there is always a way to get the message through- teachers, family, classmates, anyone willing to help and fluent enough. Take, for instance, anonymous translations and subtitles available in the net.
