1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,540
We will remain in the Mediterranean region.

2
00:00:04,259 --> 00:00:05,839
Claudia and Sandra from Spain, please.

3
00:00:12,449 --> 00:00:13,289
Good morning.

4
00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:17,550
Manolefaya High School is located in Coslada, Madrid, Spain,

5
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:20,489
a city in the heart of a diverse country,

6
00:00:20,989 --> 00:00:24,190
which apart from paella, flamenco dancing, and sun,

7
00:00:24,449 --> 00:00:28,890
has a rich culture, welcoming people, and an amazing natural beauty.

8
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:32,829
Our school promotes the values of respect,

9
00:00:32,829 --> 00:00:40,469
project, cooperation, equality and hard work, the same values we see in the European Union.

10
00:00:40,469 --> 00:00:46,369
The same values that provide us environmental protection, consumer rights, free movement

11
00:00:46,369 --> 00:00:54,490
for work and travel and the promotion of equality between women and men, among other benefits.

12
00:00:54,490 --> 00:00:59,490
We have implemented the project Ambassador Schools of the European Parliament, which

13
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:05,090
supports learning about the European Union and the importance of voting.

14
00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:10,069
Citizens are missing out on the opportunity that we have of choosing our representatives,

15
00:01:10,069 --> 00:01:13,189
whose decisions determine our future.

16
00:01:13,189 --> 00:01:20,030
People take for granted what we have achieved in the past – democracy, human rights, freedom.

17
00:01:20,030 --> 00:01:21,510
We need to take a stand.

18
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:23,890
Our voices should be heard.

19
00:01:23,890 --> 00:01:27,430
We need to learn to talk and listen.

20
00:01:27,430 --> 00:01:33,310
We have the opportunity to choose our own direction, and to go forward, we need to walk.

21
00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:35,629
The first step is voting.

22
00:01:35,629 --> 00:01:38,049
The only thing left is the future.

23
00:01:38,049 --> 00:01:40,049
Let's make it beautiful.

24
00:01:40,049 --> 00:01:41,049
Thank you.

25
00:01:41,049 --> 00:01:42,549
Thank you very much.
