The European Union is often seen as distant or complex, yet it shapes many aspects of our daily lives: from education and mobility to digital rights and environmental protection.

In this module, you will explore how the EU was created, why it exists, and how it has evolved in response to Europe’s history and global challenges. You will learn how EU institutions work together, how laws are made, and where real decision-making power lies. The module also highlights the core values of the EU, including democracy, human rights, solidarity, and the rule of law.

Special attention is given to youth rights, participation, and the many opportunities the EU offers to young people across Europe. By the end of this module, you will better understand not only how the EU functions, but also how you can engage, influence policies, and shape Europe’s future.
