This extra opportunity for us, young people,
thanks to the possibility to study and work in
another country, promotes mutual knowledge,
interpersonal and intercultural relationships.
Therefore we have the duty to do more
towards this great possibility and to carry this
great project of United Europe out , not only
from the point of view commercial and
touristic but above all social. European
citizenship unites the link between our own
nationality and European citizenship.

The EU is a form of supranational sovereignty since
it unites different nations together;
this means that we are Italian because we share
between us culture, traditions and language and
we are at the same time European because we
belong to a community of vaindividual states with
their many differences. Citizens of the European
Union traveling and moving around Europe create
bonds of friendship with other citizens of this
continent. Thanks to this relationship cultural
exchanges often take place, knowledge about uses
and costumes is increasing and we are learning
ways of living and different situations between
different nations.

Some of us , boys and girls at the
Erodoto School had the opportunity,
thanks to the Erasmus Plus WSE project,
to participate to a mobility
in Estonia during which we met and
make friends with students of four
partner countries.
Besides we keep in touch with them
quite every day. This is one of many
advantages that the inhabitants of the
European Union have, they increase
their knowledge and their cultural
baggage only making friends.

But to improve relationships,it is
necessary to be tolerant, this is one
of the main reasons for which the
European Union was born. Tolerance
in a society appears in those who
show respect towards everyone and
everything is "different".It is
necessary to think and act believing
in different religious, social principles.

The European Union originated in 1952
with the formation of the ECSC or the
European coal community and steel. In
this period some countries like Belgium,
France, Germany and Italy joined
together to share the production of these
two materials, so these six countries
united together in peace created an
atmosphere of respect, solidarity and
tolerance, which led to the formation of
the EU with 28 member states.

Experimenting and implementing the WSE
project is helping us to feel ourselves more
European citizens, sharing and learning about
different cultures and traditions, establishing
friendly relations with young people from
different cultures and defining the link
between us and Europe.
WE SCHOOL EUROPE!
