The European Coal and Steel Community was first proposed by French foreign minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950 as a way to prevent further war between France and Germany. He declared his aim was to “make war not only unthinkable but materially impossible.”
In 2012, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the European Union “for over six decades [having] contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe.”
In 2015, at a time of war, terrorist attack and instability, young people from across the European Union chose to express their own personal wishes for their future in their continent.
