Do we know other member states of the EU well enough? Do we get enough information about other EU member states? I think that Lithuania is still regardedDo we know other member states of the EU well enough? Do we get enough information about other EU member states?
I think that Lithuania is still regarded as “second-rate” in the EU. Our students think that Lithuania is not under-developed, but when you meet and talk to someone, they still think we are part of Russia. Other nations of the EU don’t even know we exist at all. Some people in Spain we are still in the Soviet Union. And in text books and maps of other countries they still have Lithuania as part of the Soviet Union, but not as a separate independent state.
Being a part of the EU could help to prove other nations we are an independent country, which is doing its best to be good at sports, science doing well in developing new technologies etc. The respondents think that there’s still a gap of information about new member states in other EU countries. Children in schools of Lithuania get knowledge and information about history and geography of all the nations of the world, while other countries mostly concentrate on the history of their own.
Lietuva ir ES.
Ar mes gerai pažįstame kitas ES nares? Ar pakanka informacijos apie ES šalis nares?
Lietuva dar dabar yra skaitoma, kaip antrarūšė ES –oje. Mokinių nuomone Lietuva nėra atsilikusi, tačiau daugelis mano, kad ji vis dar yra Rusijos dalis. Kitos ES tautos net nežino, kad tokia šalis yra. Kai kurios šalys mano, kad mes dar esame Sovietų Sąjungoje. Kitų šalių mokyklų žemėlapiuose Lietuva vaizduojama kaip Tarybų Sąjungos dalis, o ne atskira valstybė.
Mūsų buvimas ES galėtų vis dėl parodyti, kad Lietuva yra savarankiška valstybė, siekianti aukštumų sporte, moksle, technologijose ir t.t. Pašnekovų nuomone, kitose šalyse trūksta informacijos apie ES tautas. Mūsų šalies mokyklose mokoma viso pasaulio istorija, o kitose šalyse mokiniai mokosi daugiau tik savo šalies istoriją.(more)(less)

We could be like, e.g. United Kingdom or Denmark- they have their national currency, and we have our LITAS. We don’t need other. It is like a wife- every man has his wife, and every country has its own currency…
Common currency for all EU countries means making them more or less unified. It is convenient if you travel. You don’t need to exchange your money… But to loose our own national currency- will it be positive for Lithuanian economy? I doubt…
Ar reikia Lietuvai Euro?
Mano nuomone gerai, kad esame ES, bet mums Euro nereikia. Mes, kaip pavyzdžiui, Anglija, Danija turi savo nacionaline valiuta, taip ir mes turime Litą Ir mums kitu nereikia. Kaip kiekvienam vyrui savo žmona, taip valstybei - jos valiuta J
Bendra valiuta visoms šalims narėms iš Dalies reiškia susivienodinimą. Patogu tuo atveju, jeigu važiuoji i kitą Šalį nereikia keisti valiutos. Bet savos valiutos praradimas AR bus naudingas Lietuvai?!(more)(less)

Tourism is vitally important to the economy of many parts of Europe, but in these days of cheap travel and availability of long-haul flights, there isTourism is vitally important to the economy of many parts of Europe, but in these days of cheap travel and availability of long-haul flights, there is a lot of competition - so why visit Europe? Marianne, a schoolteacher from England, says that she likes to visit Europe because of the cultural differences, to see historic sites, and to explore the historical links between countries, especially Britain and France. Maaike, a student from Amsterdam, says that Europe is a very old continent with a long history and so much to discover, and she likes to see the many cultural differences; after high school she took time out to travel through Europe instead of going to Australia like many other students did. She thinks that the Eastern European countries are really fascinating and would like to visit them too.

Leiskite pasveikinti visus projekto dalyvius, dirbančius nepaprastai svarbų darbą visiems europiečiams ir kiekvienai šaliai atskirai. Pokalbiai, žmoniųLeiskite pasveikinti visus projekto dalyvius, dirbančius nepaprastai svarbų darbą visiems europiečiams ir kiekvienai šaliai atskirai. Pokalbiai, žmonių švietimas, diskusijos ir tarpusavio supratimas yra pagrindinė varomoji jėga šiandien Europoje, kuri leidžia eiti į priekį. Kad žmogus pažintų pasaulį, jis turi pirmiausia pažinti savo šalį ir tada kalbėtis, suprasti kitus, nes tik bendraudami, tik šviesdami mes išmoksime pažinti, suprasti ir eiti į priekį.
First of all I want to congratulate all the project people doing this job, which is so important for all European citizens and for each country. Conversations, discussions, educating and informing people as well as mutual understanding is the main life-force in today’s Europe, which helps us all to move forward. If a person is to learn more about the world, he has to know his own country, and only then he is capable of talking with the others, of understanding different views. It is only through communication and education that we can learn, understand and develop.(more)(less)
