Вопрос Евроинтеграции, дальнейшего пути развития страны, кооперации и сотрудничества волнует сегодня многих граждан Украины. Особенно важны эти вопросы для молодежи, им предстоит стать у руля страны завтра. И выбор будущего, напрямую зависит от того, какое сегодня предлагают стране наши политики и государственные деятели.
8 апреля в 11 классе  в школе №5 г. Павлограда состоялось заседание “Круглого стола” , на котором учащиеся обсудили вопросы вступления Украины в Евросоюз. Участники школьного Англоязычного клуба подготовили доклады и выступили с презентациями о Европейском Союзе, истории его создания, становления и развития, были изучены аргументы политиков за и против, плюсы и минусы вступления Украины в Евросоюз.

Седая Ольга. Contemporary world can’t be imagined without international communities and organizations. One of such organization with distinctive rules methods of work is the European Union.
The EU is political and economical organization, which has long history. The first step of it’s creation were made in 1951 and finally it was organized in the first of November of 1993 when the Declaration about the EU was signed. Originally only six countries were its members and now 28 states from the EU.
The main purpose of organization is to provide free moving of people, money recourses, goods and services among the countries-members of the EU. So Monetary Union was established in 1999 due to the which euro become widely used.
The EU is a powerful union which has its pros and cons.I think as pros we can say that it provides:
consolidations of young generation;  the exchange of knowledge; experience; scientific achievements; development of international tourism and culture.
Nowadays many people in Europa are speaking about the disadvantages of membership in the EU. The main problems are the need to help less economical developed countries, for example Greece, endless subsidy credits, emigration and some economical limits.
During the last years Ukraine is trying to become a new member of the EU. But we are to pass long and difficult way. The first steps have already been made. We try to be closer to Europe.
So we ratificated some programmers of technical support such as:
1. Trans- European programmer of modernization of education in universities.
2. The programmer of European system of education
3. The programmer of European democracy and the people rights
4. The programmer of bordering cooperation
5. Twinning-integration of Europe laws
6. Technical Assistant Information Exchange
As for me I understand to become a successful member of the EU Ukraine has to understand its own possibilities and try to decide its main problems. Also it is very important for us to realize profits and consequences of such union.

 As it is known, people and governments of goodwill have always aspired to a lasting peace in the world. All of us understand that to keep international peace and security, to sign international treaties, to fight against terrorism and to protect human rights we need to cooperate and unite efforts with other countries. That’s why special European institutions were created.  http://happyschoollife01.blogspot.com/2016/04/ukraines-way-to-peace-and-cooperation.html 

Аметова Анастасия. European Union (EU) - international organization comprising 28 European countries and governing common economic, social, and security policies. Originally confined to western Europe, the EU undertook a robust expansion into central and eastern Europe in the early 21st century.

As far as we know from the history lessons after World War II, European integration was seen as an antidote to the extreme nationalism which had devastated the continent. The 1948 Hague Congress was a pivotal moment in European federal history, as it led to the creation of the European Movement International and of the College of Europe, where Europe's future leaders would live and study together. I think it is a very useful experiance for Ukraine.

1952 saw the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, which was declared to be "a first step in the federation of Europe." The supporters of the Community included Alcide De Gasperi, Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, and Paul-Henri Spaak.
To my mind Ukraine is a priority country within the European Neighborhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership. The EU is committed to a policy of sequenced engagement with Ukraine and to a close relationship that encompasses political association and economic integration.

The topic of my report is the Council of Europe and its role in political life of European Continent.The Council of Europe is the continent's leading human rights organisation. It includes 47 member states, 28 of which are members of the European Union. As it was said, the European Union (EU) is an economic and political association of 28 member states located generally in Europe.The Council of Europe is the oldest intergovernmental organization in Europe and brings together the largest number of European countries : 47 Member States representing some 800 million Europeans. While it is totally independent from the European Union, the two entities do collaborate in certain domains. The 28 Member States of the European Union are all members of the Council of Europe. The Council of Europe principally aims to defend human rights and parliamentary democracy. The organization is composed of two bodies : the Committee of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly, as well as three institutions: the European Court of Human Rights, the Commissioner for Human Rights and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. The Secretary General of the Council of Europe has the overall responsibility for the activities of the organization.

We should learn to protect our own rights.A very important organ for that is  European Commission of Human Rights.  An international body, which examines in accordance with the European Convention on Human Rights the admissibility of all individual or state application against a member state it expresses an opinion on the violation alleged in applications found to be admissible in cases, in which no friendly settlement is reached. 

European Court of Human Rights
Based in Strasbourg, this is the only truly judicial organ established by the European Convention on Human Rights. It is composed of 39 members and ensures, in the last instance, the observance by the Contracting States of the obligations imposed by the Convention.
Some of the civil rights are:- the right to work, the right to health care,the right to education, the right to travel, the right to housing, the right to life, the right to fair trial. People`s rights can be: declared or not declared, provided or not provided to them, respected or not respected, protected or not protected ,observed or not observed,  implemented or not implemented, violated or not violated, abused or not abused.
International law also provides for: human treatment of civilians in wartime,protection of sick and wounded soldiers, fair treatment of prisoners of war, refugees and hostages.
Now I am sure thanks to these laws every person can complain about human rights violations. And one of this, I think very important point is our English language club charter where we can learn English and get to know the world better.

I want to tell about relations of my country with many Ukrainians who live abroad. Ukraine has close relations with many countries of the world. 

The Society for Cultural Relations with Ukrainians Abroad (the Ukraine Society) is a public organization. It lays a strong foundation for cultural and tourist contacts of our country with Ukrainians abroad.A large number of Ukrainians lived outside Ukraine are interested in the life of the land of their forefathers. The main goal of the Ukraine Society is to preserve their mother tongue and culture for themselves and their children.The Ukraine Society includes literature, science, youth programs. The Ukraine Society expands its activities each year.
In 1947 Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain was founded. It is the biggest social association in West Europe.The Association has its Fund of Help to independent Ukraine. This Fund gives money on different important actions.There is also a special Know-How fund of the British Government. Its aim is to promote assistance to Ukraine in developing of small business.
