The most debated theme was the one of immigration. Here we present the complimentary and contrasting views expressed by Maltese youths as they discuss this current but often sidelined issue. Although young people are often troubled and nervy when faced with particularly sensitive and controversial issues, well-structured small focus groups tend to bring out the best participative and argumentative skills in youths as they strive to share their ideas and experiences with their peers.(more)(less)
Andrew, a postgraduate student at Oxford University, says that illegal immigration should be an issue for each member state to tackle; but he is very concernedAndrew, a postgraduate student at Oxford University, says that illegal immigration should be an issue for each member state to tackle; but he is very concerned about racism, which seems to be prevalent across the EU and growing. He thinks that the EU should impose economic sanctions, or reduce subsidies, for member states who are failing to tackle this problem effectively and make things change. Andrew says that everyone has a role in promoting equality, but the EU is well placed logistically to tackle the issue; but he sceptical about campaigns like the European Year of Anti-Racism – he thinks that money is far better spent funding organisations like charities which are trying to tackle the problem of racism ‘on the ground’.(more)(less)

Andrew, a postgraduate student from Oxford University, England, would like to study or work abroad, especially in Italy – but he says it’s essentialAndrew, a postgraduate student from Oxford University, England, would like to study or work abroad, especially in Italy – but he says it’s essential to learn the language, and to have access to better information about how to achieve it. He says that open borders are one of the great achievements of the European Union, and that, after mobility, it has been good to see Polish cultural enclaves established in London. He says that migration and conquest have always been part of British history, and that London has always been a place for cultural exchange and assimilation; so, seeing these changes now is ‘history in motion’.(more)(less)
