Our initiative consists on promoting the Tax to Financial Transactions Tax, so we have created a petition on change.org for collecting signatures supporting this tax. We have sent this petition through e-mail to friends, teachers, families, NGOs and even the members of the Europea Parliament.
For disseminating our initiative and promoting the European Union:
-We have informed about everything that we have done in our social nets.
-We went to a radio station (Onda Cero) and to a newspaper, Diario de Burgos, where we were interviewed about our project in Euroscola.
-We have given talks about the European Union in some Primary Schools and we made a video about it.
-We have made a Glogster, in which we summarized our initiative and incorporated links and videos we made.
-We have interviewed the citizens about their opinion about the EU and the FTT, and we have made a video.
-We also have made booklets with information about the European Countries and the EU institutions in collaboration with other students of our class. With them, we created a mural about the European Union, in our High School.
-We have drawn a comic about the FTT and designed designed a poster for promoting the FTT.
-We have talked with some economists and philosophers, in order to understand better the European Union.
We were supposed to participate in this contest in English but, as we wanted to reach many people (from different ages, countries...) we have translated every text that we have written and subtitled all the videos, so each text is in both languages: English and Spanish.


That´s how we work / Así trabajamos...

Our experience in Euroscola.

    Our Social Sciences teacher asked us if we wanted to participate in Euroscola. Our answer was yes, although we didn't know what would result from it.  We think that it was a good decision. It has been a really good experience. In the  beginning it was a really hard work, but  at the end we have learnt much more tan we had expected.
   We have learnt a lot of English and about the  ITT. Now we also know and understand the European Unión and how it affects our daily lives, and something more important, we have learnt to appreciate it. Besides, we have learnt how to work in teams, to help each other and to take decisions democratically, as the EU does.

    Nuestro profesor de Ciencias Sociales nos pregunto si queríamos participar en Euroscola, y dijimos que sí, aunque no sabíamos muy bien que resultaría de todo esto. Creemos que  fue una buena decisión y que ha resultado ser una experiencia muy positiva. A pesar de que empezar a trabajar fue muy difícil, al final aprendimos mucho más de lo que esperábamos.

    Hemos aprendido mucha informática e inglés, además de conocer y entender mejor la Unión Europea y su repercusión en nuestras vidas, y más importante aún, hemos aprendido a valorarla. También hemos aprendido a trabajar en equipo: a ayudarnos y a tomar decisiones democráticamente, tal como hace la Unión Europea.
