This is one of the questions our bachelor and MBA students got an answer to after a wonderful visit at the Council of the European Union!<\/p>\n<p>A huge thanks to Katerina Peskova for helping us organise the visit &amp; taking us around on a guided tour, and Salvatore Finamore, PhD (Political Administrator, Analysis and Research Team) for giving us a talk on &#8220;The role of the Council of the EU and the European Council within the European Institutions&#8221;. We explored the work of the Council directly from the perspective of the internal stakeholders&#8230; a truly unique experience.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards the talk, UBI Business School students visited the Visitor Centre, the Europa Building and the office of Charles Michel.<\/p>\n<p>The group marveled at the facade, comprised of a mosaic of refurbished wooden window frames sourced from renovation or demolition sites across all EU countries. Though familiar with the building&#8217;s exterior, they were unaware of its underlying commitment to sustainable development, materials recycling, and its testament to EU artisanship and cultural diversity. The facade served as a poignant reminder of the EU motto, &#8220;united in diversity&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The visit ignited a lot of thoughtful questions and a deeper understanding of the complexity of governing the hashtag#EU. Thank you again for this wonderful experience and a special thanks to our own Elena Bucciero for coordinating this!<\/p>\n<p>We thank all of the participants who took the time to attend this special visit.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-8-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 8\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-6-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 6\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-7-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 7\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-4-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 4\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-1-768x576.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 1\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-2-768x432.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 2\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-3-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 3\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EU-council-visit-5-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"EU council visit 5\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the difference between the Council of Europe and the European Council?
