In my search to find out what makes me a European Citizen, I’ve been looking into the European Union and trying to get my head around how we fit into it’s grand agenda.
As one of the 27 member states that make up the EU we are entitled to a number of rights and benefits that go beyond the general entitlements that come from being a citizen of our own Country.
For my vlog on this subject ‘Is it just geographical?’, I asked a variety of Young people on the streets of Plymouth ‘What does the European Union do?’ Check out some of the responses www.youtube.com/knowingmeknowingurup comical to say the least but no judegement is uttering from my mouth, as only a few days before I would’ve been stuttering on like the rest of them!
Because actually finding out this information from the EU’s official site http://europa.eu/abc/12lessons/lesson_5/index_en.htm is like trawling through quick-drying cement, slow, painful and easy to get stuck!
The trouble is the information they’re trying to put across is pretty complex so they need a certain amount of detail in there but surely there’s a way to liven it up a bit? With all the technology now available what can they utilise to make the messages easier to digest?
