The course, which will end in May, aims to train students to achieve a thorough knowledge of the functioning and the institutions of the EU. At the inaugural conference, the EU’s senior official introduced the students to the recent history of the European Union and the difficulties that the integration process has faced: the great economic crisis that began in 2008, the refugee crisis and the Brexit.
Even so, Toledo Albiñana highlighted the positive aspects of integration: “Sixty years of European integration have been completed; there are not 60 prosperous years in Europe in its history”. He also highlighted the growth of the union’s economies, which” for the first time in 10 years, will all grow.”
Over the next few months, around thirty specialists in Community issues, from the European Union institutions, the Secretariat of State for the European Union of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, of the Generalitat of Catalonia, and also from the professional and university world, they will give classes in our Course on the European Union.
