Final Conclusion

We have done a hard work to be here. We have been all this time very stressed because of the exams. We have been combining the competition and school work and it has been very difficult, nevertheless it has been a very good experience because we have learnt a lot  about he European Union.

We think 1 picture is worth more than 1,000 words, and that is why we have filmed a lot of videos. Young people prefer videos and direct pictures to long texts. In addition, texts and information are really easy to copy and paste from the Internet. We have created and written the blog ourselves. We have taken photographs and filmed videos mainly away from our school to make public the European Parlament and the elections.

Being a team and getting a goal is a huge challenge. We all are very different and it´s difficult to agree in ideas or matters sometimes.

We have learnt a lot about tolerance, respect, patience...

We thank all our school, teachers, school mates... because we needed a lot of help for the blog. We planned activities and needed permissions and the company of teachers to visit other schools, to go to the pictures exhibition, to travel to Brussels, to travel to Germany... We cannot forget the interview with the MEP Veronica Lope Fontagne!

We are very glad of our effort and we hope that we will be able to explain our project to the European Parliament in Strassburg.

Vote!

With this video we want to explain better than with words the intention of this blog because every citizen has the right of decide about his/her future. Europe takes part in its citizens lives, so it´s our responsibility to vote the person who is going to take part in important decisions for the future of the european citizens.

Mediation

The European Union has got a great potential as a successful mediator and peace builder in conflicts around the world and because of that is should reinforce its conflict resolution capacities, according to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari.

The IES Pablo Gargallo has a mediation group that works in the improvement of the elimination of conflict and coexistence, they try to improve and take care of "healthy" relationships. Below, you can see the video that ​​the Institute mediation group made, in which our colleague Carmen Dieste appears playing the piano.
We introduced this video to  the competition and we are really happy because we did a great work.

This video has just been awarded as you can see below:
