The euro had a soft launch. 💶

On this day in 1998, the European Central Bank (ECB) was established 🏦, months before the euro officially launched and years before anyone could pay with euro banknotes or coins.

So, what does the ECB actually do? 🤑 It is the central bank for the EU countries that use the euro. Its main task is to keep prices stable, helping your money retain its value. It also contributes to safer banks and smoother payment systems.

The euro officially launched in 1999, but banknotes and coins only entered our wallets in 2002. 👛 Today, it is used by 21 EU countries, with Bulgaria becoming the newest member of the euro area on 1 January 2026. 🇧🇬

Did you know that already? 👀

🔄 EPAS loading...

At first, EU politics can feel a bit blurry.
A bunch of institutions, acronyms, decisions being made somewhere far away... 🤷‍♀️

Then you discover EPAS.
The European Parliament Ambassador School Programme helps students understand not only how the European Union works, but also the role of the European Parliament and how European democracy shapes their everyday lives.

For the past 10 years, EPAS has been helping young people across Europe connect, learn and experience the EU beyond the classroom.

Through debates, events, campaigns, meetings with Members of the European Parliament and community projects, students gain a better understanding of their rights as EU citizens, the work of the European Parliament, and how they can actively participate in democratic life.

And it’s not just a handful of schools. Today, the EPAS community includes more than 🏫 2000 schools, 👩‍🏫 5500 teachers and almost 🎓 40 000 students across Europe. 🇪🇺

Curious? Learn more about EPAS through the link in our highlights.

Tiny question: if you paid for a game… should someone be able to switch it off later? 🎮👀

Because for some games, that can happen.

🖊️ More than 1.2 million Europeans supported the “Stop Destroying Videogames” initiative, arguing that games sold to players shouldn’t suddenly stop working after official support ends.

Supporters say this is about consumer rights and digital ownership. 🧑‍💻 Critics argue online games are more complicated and keeping them running is not always realistic.

Now, the European Commission has until 26 July to decide what happens next.

Okay gamers, settle this one in the comments! 🫵 🎮

Taking an international train in Europe sometimes feels a bit… unpredictable. 🚆

The European Parliament just gave the final green light to new rules aimed at making cross-border rail traffic run more smoothly.

The goal is simple:
⌚ fewer delays,
🛂 smoother journeys,
🚄 trains that work better across borders!

And yes, rail operators causing major disruptions could now face consequences too. 👀
