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...

Collecting signatures / Recogiendo firmas.

We decided our initiative was going to consists in promoting Tax to Financial Transactions (TFF). We believe this tax would be a good way of creating a fairer European Union, that´s why we decided to support this initiative.

In order to achieve more people supporting it , we started a petition in "change.org". Through this, we have been collecting signatures from many people who support the TFF.

We have been spreading this petition to our friends and family, to a lot of NGOs  from all over and to some Members of European Parliament, through twitter, whatsapp, e-mail.etc.

Some MEPs and NGOs have even replied and supported us, such as the MEP Izaskun Bilbao (from the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe) and the NGO "Platform for Children and Childhood".

Thanks to all of you who have supported us.

 Tras mucho pensar, decidimos que parte de nuestra iniciativa consistiría en promocionar el Impuesto a las Transacciones Financieras (ITF). Este impuesto sería, como explicamos con más detalle en la siguiente entrada, un gran paso para  construir una Europa más justa y solidaria y por ello hemos decidido apoyar esta iniciativa.
Para que más personas puedan apoyarla también, comenzamos una petición en la web change.org, para recoger firmas a favor del ITF.

Hemos estado difundiendo esta petición entre nuestros conocidos y familiares, además de entre diversas ONGs de toda España y entre los eurodiputados, a través de twitter, whatsapp, e-mail...

Algunos eurodiputados y ONGs incluso nos han respondido, como la Plataforma por la Infancia o la eurodiputada Izaskun Bilbao, pertenciente al Grupo de la Alianza  de los Demócratas  y Liberales.
