Transcript : Today I’m being born. Like thousands of children all across Europe. What will the world, we grow up in look like? What awaits us? Most of us are planned... some of us are a change of plans. And we’ve all made an impact on the world even before we’re born. Happiness. Love. And fear. An overwhelming anxiety, almost unbearable. Maybe because the world around us feels more uncertain than ever. And life has a way to make us feel fragile and alone, when we know change is coming, and nothing will ever be the same again. Some say, that we are born into this world alone. But we’re not! From the second we come into this world, we’re in it together. This material is offered in the context of the 2019 European elections campaign for online use worldwide, for a period of one year from 25/04/2019. Also included: all Media, territories: Europe only
