Lego Gifts

In our school we are used to working with LEGO so this was one of our first ideas to upload to our blog: representing important moments of EU with LEGO gifts. Our Trinitarias teams are filled with enthusiasm with the history of the European Union, because of it we want to share with you mini-lessons with our GIFS! Here we present some moments of it:

1- Common Agricultural Policy (CAP): One of the most important policies of the European Union for managing everything relating to the agriculture and farming. It was a July 11, 1958 the day that the bases of the CAP were set in Stresa, Italy. It was born with firm intentions: to improve the productivity and in addition to guarantee the farmers of the EU a better form of life. This GIF represents the conference that was carried out in Italy, in there we can observe the Italian flag at bottom, and the " handshake " as symbol of agreement.

2- Looking for PEACE: Everything gave an unexpected turn on May 9, 1950, when Robert Schuman in his famous speech proposed the union of the European countries to promote the peace and the stability.

3- The seed of the European Union: Six countries: France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. An common objective: to establish a common market of the coal and of the steel (1951).

4- The first loans from the European Investment Bank: This is more recent. We have to move to March 20, 1959, when the EIB granted its first loans. A remarkable date without any kind of doubt!

5- And finally... Turkey!!: We close this post depicting the day when it came into force the Ankara Agreement, on December 1, 1964. On the left we have represented their flag, with a moon and a star over a red background. On the GIF, a person moves to the "Turkish zone", as symbol of approach and understanding.
