    European Values

    The main values of the European Union

    Democracy

    Democracy is a form of State organization in which collective decisions are made by the people through mechanisms of direct or indirect participation that confer legitimacy to their representatives. ALVARO VALLS TUR, SPAIN

    Equality and Non-discrimination

    We believe in "equality"! In all species. We are beautiful with all our differences and colors. Zeynep Sude B.\ Turkey

    Solidarity

    The European Union (EU) is a political and economic organization that consists of twenty-seven member countries and its lands are largely in the European continent. And I think one of its most important features is solidarity. Deniz Öz. TURKEY

    Rule of Law and Justice

    What is the rule of law and justice? Are justice and equality the same thing? You can find all the answers in the image. Çağatay Şaşı Turkey

    freedom

    Freedom of movement gives citizens the right to move and reside freely within the Union. Individual freedoms such as respect for private life, freedom of thought, religion, assembly, expression and information are protected by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

    Respect of Human Dignity

    What is human dignity?
    The concept of human dignity is the belief that all people have a special value that is linked only to their humanity. It has nothing to do with their class, race, gender, religion, abilities, or any other factor other than that they are human.
    ROCÍO AGULLÓ SPAIN.

    Democracy

    A form of government in which political control is held directly by the people or by representatives freely chosen by the people at regular intervals, and all citizens are considered equal regardless of their social and economic status.
    Ege T. Turkey

    Rule of law

    This is one of the most important values of the EU. Everything the EU does is founded on treaties, agreed by its EU countries in a voluntary and democratic way. Laws are established by the European Court of Justice which judgements have to be respected by all. And it is also true that some specific laws are decided by each country.

    PAOLO MALINVERNI PÉREZ, SPAIN.

    Tolerance and Pluralism

    Pluralism and tolerance are indisputably two inalienable values for modern man. Pluralism means that form of society in which members of minority groups can freely practice their own traditions, culture and religion. By tolerance we mean "respect or consideration for the opinions or practices of others, even if they are different from ours".
    DAVID DEL VALLE VILCHEZ, SPAIN.

    Respect of Human Rights

    Respect of Human Rights
    Human rights are rights inherent to all human beıngs, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion or any other status and are regularly protected by international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable, fundamental rights.
    Eylül Tetik-Turkey

    Solidarity

    Solidarity is an essential value in the European Union. All countries help those who are going through an economic, social or environmental crisis to improve their current situation. Helping each other allows us to improve as a society.
    MARIO MINGUEZ RUIZ, SPAIN

    Equality

    Everyone is equal before the law. All discrimination is forbidden. Different cultures, religions and languages are respected. Men and women must be equal in all areas and must receive the same pay for the same work. We all have the right to express our own opinions.
    MARTA GIMÉNEZ, SPAIN

    Respect of human rights

    The obligation of States to respect human rights means that they must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. Their obligation to protect human rights requires them to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses, including by business enterprises.

    IRENE SIGNES GUZMÁN- SPAIN

    Unity

    European values represent positive things, such as, freedom, democracy, respect of humand dignity and many more. Lately, there has been episodes of conflict between Ukraine and Russia and europe's population has proven to everyone that the European Union stands together against war. That is why one of its values is unity.

    Europe

    Diversity all around us

    Despite living on the same continent, which is Europe, we differ in most things like culture,religion or skin colour. We are all different and what matters is that we respect each other no matter the differences. And I think each and every one of us can make the world a better place.

    EQUALITY

    Equality as a core value of the European Union motivates a shared concern for human dignity; the participation by all in economic, social and cultural life; a voice for all groups in decisions that impact on them; and a celebration of diversity.
    RAQUEL CUCARELLA SABUCO, SPAIN

    Defending the European Values

    The European Union’s fundamental values are respect for human dignity and human rights, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law. These values unite all the member states – no country that does not recognise these values can belong to the Union.

    The main goal of the European Union is to defend these values in Europe and promote peace and the wellbeing of the citizens. For its part, the European Parliament seeks to ensure that these values are realised in the EU legislation.

    The EU member states are pluralistic. Nobody may be discriminated against; instead, people and government representatives must respect others and be tolerant. Everybody must be treated fairly. Minority rights must be respected. Equality between men and men is promoted. Responsibility must be shared.

    The European Union works for social equality. It develops social security and tries to protect the weakest. It seeks to prevent social exclusion and discrimination.
    ELISABET GÓMEZ, SPAIN

    Human Rights

    We want to grow in an inclusive way: for us, respecting human rights means recognizing the value of each person, ensuring their dignity, safety and health, equal working conditions and promoting diversity
