The European Union is an organization that has not always existed and that the younger generations often take for granted their existence and what derives from it.

In this lesson, we want to answer questions like What is the European Union? How has it become what it is today? Etc.

We will reflect on these aspects after reading Lesson 1. Past, Present and Future of the European Union (PDF).
