The EU in slides

"The EU in slides" is a selection of PowerPoint slides outlining the basics of what the European Union is, what it does, and how it works. They are a flexible aid for teachers and speakers giving presentations about the EU. They are open for editing - any of our multipliers can re-use the illustrations, graphs, or template. The content also shows a number of tangible advantages of the EU, as well as the more traditional subjects of EU history, treaties and institutions.

date :  03/11/2015

Thanks to recent changes, the slides are now easier to use on mobile devices. You can also choose from several technical formats: PowerPoint, pdf, png. This makes it easier to integrate the infographics into reports, websites, etc. The web address of the slides has been changed, but there is a re-direction from the previous address. Latest update: September 2015.

The European Union Presentation Slide

The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 member states located primarily in Europe. It was established in the aftermath of World War II to promote cooperation and stability in the region, and has since evolved into a complex institution with broad powers in areas such as trade, foreign policy, and security. The EU has played a key role in promoting democracy and human rights across Europe, and has worked to address global challenges such as climate change and economic inequality. By fostering collaboration and solidarity among its member states, the EU has become a powerful force for peace, prosperity, and progress in Europe and beyond.
