1. What does it mean to you to be a citizen of the EU?

„Being a citizen of the EU means having freedom of movement throughout the EU, the right to vote and equality before the law, the right to healthcare, the right to express one's opinion, free movement across countries, the right to use the euro, and so on.“

2. What is democracy to you?

„Democracy to me means the right to express one's opinion and stance, after which the majority of votes wins. For example, in the case of a political party, the majority of votes decide which party wins in the elections.“

3. Do you remember any other system and how was it?

„I don't remember any other system because I didn't live, for example, during the time of World War II or the Independent State of Croatia (NDH).“

4. Will you participate in the European elections and why yes/why not?

„I will participate in the elections for the European Parliament because I believe that Croatia, as an EU member state, should participate in decision-making for the entire European Union, as it concerns us too, especially for young people so that they don't leave the country, to try to find a better job in our country, and to ensure them better rights compared to developed countries of the European Union.“

A:Hello dad, I have a few questions for you. To start with.

A:What does it mean to you to be a citizen of the European Union?

G:For me, being a citizen of the European Union means being part of the European legal framework, part of the European cultural heritage, part of the European Monetary Union, and part of Western European culture.

A:What is democracy to you?

G:To me, democracy primarily means multi-party systems, the ability to indirectly elect my representative in the European Union Parliament, or in the Parliament of the Republic of Croatia.

A:Do you remember any other system and what was it like?

G:I do remember. Since I was born in 1968, I lived in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, or in the Socialist Republic of Croatia, where the Communist Party of the Republic of Croatia, or rather the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, was in power. It was a one-party system, meaning there was no democracy, and you couldn't decide on anything democratically.

A:Will you vote in the elections and why or why not?

G:I will vote in the elections to give my voice to the option I consider the best.

INES: I'm Ines and today I'm going to ask my dad a few questions, and the first question is, what does it mean to be a citizen of the EU?

DAD: Being a citizen of the European Union would mean being a person who can progress in all aspects, someone who provides people with equal opportunities for living, education, advancement, and so on.

INES: And what is democracy for you?

DAD: Democracy should be the free expression of one's own opinion and how the people decide, so it should be.

INES: Do you remember any other system and how was it?

DAD: We lived and I was born during Yugoslavia, in terms of childhood, it was happier, but in terms of technology today is more advanced and has more possibilities in terms of life and the application of new technologies.

INES: Will you vote in the European elections?

DAD: I will vote in the elections because through elections independently and by our own decision who will govern, we consider who will best represent and advocate for us both in the European Parliament and in our country Croatia

SILVIJA: Good afternoon, we are in Donja Konjščina, and I will now speak with my grandmother Ružica. Grandma, what does being a citizen of the EU mean to you?

GRANDMA: Well, not much to me. I am 70 years old, I've already been through my share. For my children, I think it means something good.

SILVIJA: And what does democracy mean to you?

GRANDMA: That we are all equal, that we have the right to vote, and that everyone can express their opinion without fear.

SILVIJA: Do you remember any other system and how it was?

GRANDMA: Oh yes, I don't like to remember. I couldn't even buy a kilogram of bananas for my children, let alone anything else. And today they have everything and still everyone is dissatisfied one after another.

SILVIJA: Will you vote in the European elections?

GRANDMA: I vote in every election, whichever they may be. I've been voting since the first ones, and I always will.

SILVIJA: And why is that?

GRANDMA: Because I am a member of the European Union, and I think it's good, and I think that's what all of Croatia and all of Europe should do.

L: What does it mean to you to be a citizen of the EU?

R: By joining the EU, we gained the status of European citizens. To me, it felt like someone opened a window to the world. Along with all the political, economic, social, healthcare, and other rights people have, what I personally like the most is that we can travel without borders and make cheaper phone calls.

L: What is democracy to you?

R: Democracy to me means listening to the voice of the people while respecting the individuality of each person. I apply this in my work as well because I advocate for participative leadership, where I consult my colleagues on all decisions I intend to make. These are the employees of the Konjščina High School. Sometimes I ask everyone for their opinion, and sometimes only those I believe know more about a certain matter than I do. No one person knows everything. Two heads are better than one. So it's much better to ask others and seek advice on something.

L: Do you remember any other system and how was it?

R: Well, I remember, I grew up in socialism. However, I was young at the time, and young people, "Everything is easy when you're young," don't question serious matters like politics, state order, and so on, they are not their top priority. I had a very nice time then, we really grew up as happy and content young people.

L: Will you participate in the EU elections? Why yes/no?

R: Of course, I will participate in the EU elections. Any elections, I think, are the civic duty of every citizen. Personally, I want to use my voice; I don't want it to be missed because that way, I feel like I have contributed to some change, progress, anything.

L: Alright, thank you.

R: You're welcome.

Interview with the principal of Konjščina High School

# data[].attributes.body
We interviewed Mr Veniamin Iga, our head teacher, in order to find out more about democracy from a different point of view.

Silvana Ferenti and Ionut Puscas

Silvana: Good morning! We would like to ask you a few questions for our eTwinning project called 'Vote4Democracy'. What does democracy mean to you?

Mr Iga: Democracy is a political regime which became widespread in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is the best regime which came up at the end of the 20th century and it is the best form of government in Romania so far. We have to agree that it has its shortcomings but a better structure could not have been found.

S: What does being a citizen of the EU mean to you?

Mr Iga: The question refers to the advantages that the Romanians have now that we belong to the EU. I believe that Romania took a big step forward and evolved, and the results are visible for those who are ready to take an objective look at reality and avoid criticism.

Ionut: What was it like to live under another form of government?

Mr Iga: I spent my childhood and adolescence under the communist regime so I can tell the difference. All I can say it that the school system was a better one, but people did not use to be so open-minded. As I grew up, I realised that the former structure was not a good one, it was a real catastrophy, and, especially in the 1980s everyone expected something to happen, which really happened - the revolution in 1989.

I: Will you take part in the elections this year?

Mr Iga: As a candidate or as a voter?

I: As a voter.

Mr Iga: I always voted. People in Romania are not obliged to vote, but since democracy offfers us the right to choose our leaders, of course, I will vote this year as well. I believe that all citizens, who have the right to vote, should vote. But don't ask me who I will vote for because voting should not be disclosed.

I: Thank you!

Mr Iga: You're welcome!

Prijevod teksta: AI/Bing MS Copilot

R: ŠTO ZA TEBE ZNAČI BITI GRAĐANA EU-a?

M: Osobno mislim da je članstvo RH u EU donijelo puno prednosti, ima nešto i nedostataka ali vjerujem da su prednosti snažnije ako promatramo širu sliku EU. Vrata svih zemalja su otvorena za sve, ne postoje prepreke koje mogu spriječiti pojedinca u želji za istraživanjem kultura, naroda, običaja, za putovanjima, za avanturama, novim iskustvima, poslovima…

R: ŠTO JE ZA TEBE DEMOKRACIJA?

M: Demokracija za mene je odličan politički sustav u kojemu svatko ima priliku izreći svoje razmišljanje, stavove, slaganja, neslaganja u kojemu samo nije dobro ako ugrozimo život, slobodu i to isto pravo drugog pojedinca.

R: ŠTO MISLIŠ O PRETHODNOM DRUŠTVENOM UREĐENJU (SOCIJALIZMU)?

M: Obzirom da sam do gotovo samog završetka srednje škole živjela u tom sustavu, mogu reći da mi je drago da u njemu više nismo... Neke od stvarčica koje su mi se tada činile u redu: mogućnosti zaposlenja, odnos prema obrazovanju, odnos prema visokom obrazovanju (nije baš ni svatko mogao upisati fakultet nego doista sposobni i spremni za taj oblik obrazovanja). Ono što zamjeram tom sustavu: jednoumlje (nametanje istog razmišljanja i nemogućnost izražavanja osobnih stavova osobito onih koji se ne slažu s „nametnutim“). Zamjeram uskraćivanje osobnih religioznih sloboda...

R: HOĆEŠ LI GLASATI NA EUROPSKIM IZBORIMA? ZAŠTO?

M: Naravno da ću glasati na europskim izborima. To je moja moralna i građanska odgovornost. Ako smo izabrali članstvo u EU onda smo i odgovorni sudjelovati u donošenju odluka, prihvaćati mogućnosti, iskoristiti mogućnosti koje nudi EU...

"We are in Bosanski Brod. With me is my grandmother Milica. Grandma, I will ask you 4 questions related to the upcoming elections and democracy. We’re

interested in your answers.

A: What does democracy mean to you?

G: Nothing.

A: Why nothing?

G: Because I can express what I think only in dreams; beauty lies entirely in dreams.

A: And what does European Union membership mean to you?

G: Perhaps it’s good for the country, but personally, for me, it means nothing.

A: How was it for you before, during socialism? Tito, Jovanka, Yugoslavia, and all that?

G: Oh, forget about Tito and Jovanka. It was… My youth was beautiful. The best part of my life… and my

work experience. I worked, had vacation days, received bonuses, had a good salary, could go to the

seaside… I haven’t seen the sea since '92… And I probably won’t see it again; I’ll likely die before that.

I see it in pictures…

A: Will you vote in the elections?

G: No.

A: Not any of them?

G: No.

A: You have three choices, Grandma.

G: Which three?

A: You have options to vote for the president, Croatian parliament, and the European Parliament.

G: Ugh, I won’t vote for anyone…

Well, that’s your choice. Thank you, Grandma."

mentor: Ivana Opačak, prof.

Prijevod teksta: AI/Bing MS Copilot

Image: Tin & Luka (terenska nastava, listopad 2023.)

Video: Runway

Lovro: Tin, what does democracy mean to you?

Tin: Democracy is a form of government where every citizen has the right to vote for the party they want, and where elections are held every four years or as specified in the constitution.

Lovro: What does it mean for you to be an EU citizen?

Tin: Being a citizen of the EU means that I have the right to certain benefits, such as EU funds. I can vote in European parliamentary elections, have Internet access wherever I go without roaming charges, and travel across borders using only my ID card. Additionally, Croatia adopted the Euro as its national currency in 2023, joining the Eurozone.

Lovro: Do you know anything about the previous political system(s)?

Tin: The previous state organization was a one-party system in which a single ideology prevailed: socialism (or, as some call it, Titoism). In this system, one individual held significant power, and the entire state was centrally oriented.

Lovro: Will you vote when you turn 18?

Lovro: Of course. It's every citizen's duty.

Video: HeyGen

E: Djede, što za tebe znači demokracija?

D: Demokracija je sloboda. Pravo na izraziti svoje mišljenje, dok prije to nisi mogao. A sada možeš izraziti svoje mišljenje, možeš reći što hoćeš, samo ne možeš naudarat koga hoćeš.

E: Što za tebe znači biti građanin EU-a?

D: Ni ne osjetim da sam građanin EU-a, za mene je to isto, isti zrak dišem. Barem mi penzioneri ne osjetimo, a sada, netko tko uzima novac od Europske Unije, za njega je bolje.

E: Kako je bilo živjeti u drugom državnom uređenju?

D: Nismo imali nikakvih problema. Išao sam u crkvu isto kao što se i sada ide, sve se moglo, sve je bilo. Nismo se miješali u politiku, ali ne mješam se ni sada. Financijska situacija je bila teža jer je bila devaluacija novca. Onda se sve prema njemačkim markama računalo i svaki dan su cijene rasle. Ali radio si i zaradio si i tako se preživljavalo.

E: Hoćeš li izaći na izbore, zašto?

D: Hoću, kao što sam i do sada. Na svake izađem, pa ću i na ove jer ne želim da moj glas daju bilo komu.
