‘Me, You and the EU’ is a fast-paced twenty five minute educational film which tells the story of Ireland and the European Union in a fun and accessible way. Over the course of five chapters, Irish teenagers from across the country ask key questions about the EU to find out what Ireland’s EU membership means for them.
Viewers can follow the teenagers on a journey to discover more about the history of the EU from the post war era of the 1950s right up to the present day. The teenagers learn about EU policies, how the different institutions work, and how the EU is responding to the current challenges of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic.
