Me, You and the EU - The Story of Ireland and the European Union

Added: 06 May 2021 Contributor: Scoilnet Resource type: Assessment / Guide/notes / Audio / Video

Irish teenagers ask questions about the EU. The 25 minute video answers these questions and explores a brief history of the EU and how it impacts on the lives of Irish people. It looks at key EU policies (currency, gender equality for instance), how the different institutions work, and how the EU is responding to current challenges. Contains teachers' notes and a quiz for students.
