The European Union is the world's most successful invention for advancing peace.
John Bruton
To me, the European Union says there is a charter that protects you; you have fundamental rights, and they are staying silent when they are violating my fundamental rights.

Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union, it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.

And that the European Union was created over 50 years ago and has grown from 6 to 28 countries?

(Відео 7)
Presenter 4:
Rome is not only an ancient city or a capital of Italy. It is a special place where everyone can feel himself at home. You will never be alone in Rome, because it seems that all people know each other.
Rome is obviously an amazing city where you can see and visit such famous monuments as the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and Vatican City. All these and many other tourist attractions amaze and make such a great impression that you will never be able to forget them.
Apart from sightseeing, you can also explore Italian culture in Rome. You can feel yourself a part of a mysterious rite entering any patisserie or bar in the morning. Here you can have your breakfast consisting of a cup of creamy cappuccino and filled croissant.
And finally, you can enjoy yourself in a big park area in Rome. It is called “Villa Borghese” and it is a perfect place to spend a hot and sunny day under its trees or to walk its wide paths in. In addition, Villa Borghese can offer you different other activities. You can visit famous “Borghese Gallery” and also a zoo placed in the park.
Rome is a city where everyone can find his place. You can walk, visit museums, do shopping, go to opera and do many other things there. But there’s one thing that you will certainly do in Rome – you will enjoy yourself.
Teacher: Speaking about Rome, we cannot miss the other Italian city – Venice. Let’s see!
(Відео 8)
Presenter 5:
Venice is a city in Italy. It is the capital of the Veneto region, which is in the north-east of the country. The population of Venice is now only under 55000 people.
Venice is built on 118 small islands that are separated by 150 canals. People cross the canals by many small bridges. They can also navigate across the city on boats, both rowing boats and motor boats. The most famous Venetian type of boat called a gondola. The buildings in Venice are very old and attractive, and tourists come from all over the world to see them and the canals. This has made Venice one of the most famous cities in the world. The most famous sights are the Rialto Bridge, St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace. It is important to remember that Venice is much more than few landmarks and Its lifestyle and culture are unique in the world and it can get confusing at first.
There are several problems in Venice, but it is still the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. Every year the city sinks a few millimeters because the ground is made from mud. Eventually, the city might be completely underwater. Because of this, the Italian government is building the defense against the sea-water flooding that will safely protect Venice indefinitely.
Teacher: We cannot visit all the capitals of the European Union. But it was not the aim of our meeting. I am sure it is much better to travel not online, but in our real life.
The European Union is a family of democratic European countries working together to improve life for their citizens and to build a better world. We live in Ukraine. We live in Europe. And we hope to become one of the parts of this European Union.
Let’s sing the song “Wind of Change” by Scorpions.
(Презентація 9 – пісня 10)
I follow the Dnipro
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Dnipro
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a…
