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...
Talking with an economist / Charla con un economista
Miguel Ángel, teacher of Economy in our school, explained to us with detail which are the main features of the Financial Transaction Tax. He talked to us about its origins (the famous James Tobin), the way it can be implemented, what are the financial products that it assesses, etc.
He taught us how we could carry out the idea of spreading and promoting the FTT, and he helped us to write the petition in change.org.
