European citizens are in most cases unaware of the real actions of the European Union. It is important to educate citizens: — Increased transparency regarding actions taken: how they affect EU citizens, and why. — More education in schools/institutes: we are seeing a rise in nationalism and it is necessary to explain why an EU is needed, what it allowed, etc.
