I found two very good videos on the European Union. The first one, tells the history of the EU in 5 minutes, with images and years. It doesn't only mention what we've seen in class, but it also expands on that information and gives some extra facts. It's a nice way to review the EU history for those of you who like a more visual approach.

EU: Hsitory and Legislature
The second video explains how the legislature in the European Union works. How are the laws made? Who makes up the Parliament? Who proposes and who approves laws? You can find all the answers and more in the video, which is explained in the easiest way possible. Understanding how the Parliament works tells us a lot of the cooperation needed between all the countries of the EU, and how it all works kind of like just one country. I hope you find them as interesting as I did, specially this one. There is another video explaining the Lisbon Treaty and the different views, as well as some problems and repercussions. Here are the links:
