Introduction

In this part we will talk about the importance of European values.Before we go on, please reflect on the following questions and take notes on a piece of paper.

Are European values important? For whom? Why?

It goes without saying that European values are important. Firstly, they constitute a fundament of European identity. Just think: can you imagine an identity that is not based on values?
