Today is the deadline of a contest that has been very important for us. We have been working on it for three months but we are completely sure that the end of this project has not arrived yet. During the last three months we have been enjoying a lot with all the points of the project. We can say that now we are different. We have understood the European society, our society, with a strong analytical point of view. We have promoted those European values in which we believe with all the means that we have had. We have tried to engage the citizens of our city to believe again in the European Union and in its democratic institutions, because the democracy is the government of the people. If we, the people, get involved in our government we will live in a better place for everybody. This is why we are very grateful and proud of having participate in this contest, because we have contributed with the best of us in making a better society, a better Europe and a better world. It is true when they say that the most important thing is to participate. We, EUnited team. We, the people. Thank you, EUROSCOLA ’16.
Bye bye! See you in Strasbourg! hahahaha

Yesterday we did a fun activity in our highschool for the children of 1st E.S.O . We organised an interactive power point, some colours to paint their faces, and lastly we gave some snacks and drinks. We did homemade cup cakes, and they loved them, and us as well. We enjoyed the activity, and they seemed very interested and involved. They told us that they loved the idea of learning by having fun. They already knew a lot about the European Union, and that made us feel very proud.

ARTICLE (INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!)
International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world. A day in which women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political.
We come from a country in which culture has a big role, and sadly women and men don’t have the same rights. Thanks to the European Union in Spain this situation has changed over the thirty years we have been part of it.
Changes between equality of women and men in the
European Union started in 1957, when the principle of ``equal work, equal salary´´
was applied in the Treaty of Rome .
There have been big changes since Spain didn’t belong
to the European Union. Before women didn’t have the right to practice several
jobs, but with the big step we took when we entered to the European Union we
solved part of a big problem which is and was equality between genders.
We have to start changing the situation and changes
have to be made from when we are children. That’s why I propose that Member States
should start to address social issues such as discrimination between men and
women or gender stereotypes in primary schools. A good way should be doing fun
games, because children love playing. It would be great to carry out gymkhanas in
their schools, in their second homes, in which they would be taught principally
gender equality.
Switching to the companies and marketing, there should
be an improvement in pay and work equality conditions. The principle of the Treaty of Rome , should be totally applied.
It is proved that men and women don’t have the same wages for the same amount
of work.
It is all question of time and patience, the European
Union has some plans and it is predicted that for 2020 inequality between
genders will disappear.
All in all, we should start working on it. We should
start changing stereotypes!
