Ode to joy a symbol of Europe

Ode to joy is the melody chosen by the Council of Europe as the European anthem. This anthem does not aim to replace the national anthems of the EU countries but simbolizes the idea of solidarity, feeling of brotherhood, agreements and freedom that Europeans share.
Ode to joy comes from the 9th symphony composed by the talented composer and musician Ludwig Van Bethoven in the 18th Century.
In 1970 the Spanish singer Miguel Rios added lyrics to this  melody and created a Spanish version of the anthem.


We encourage you to listen to the versions on the videos below.

Introduction

As 15/16 year-old students, we don't only feel citizens from Madrid and Spain, but also from Europe. That's the reason why we are participating in the Euroscola Contest. 2016 is a very significative year for Spaniards as it's been thirty years since our country became a member of the European Union. We count with 30 years of colaboration, agreements and projects along with the rest of the countries which form part of the EU. This union has provided, all the countries involved, with several economic and social benefits.

With this blog we'd like to analyse and assess what we have achieved since Spain joined the EU in 1986.
