Research on the Challenges of the European Union as Perceived by Students

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate how some of the most important challenges facing the European Union are perceived by students. By means of a survey, students’ opinions on issues such as the economic situation, the pandemic, unity, climate change, and cyberattacks are researched, analysed, and commented. The findings reveal that students are aware of these issues, mostly via social media. Economic problems were considered the main difficulty, while the pandemic and climate change also ranked high in the list of concerns. In accordance with the conclusions drawn from the research, several recommendations are issued for policymakers.
