Every citizen of an EU member state holds a unique transnational status: European citizenship. Understanding the rights, responsibilities, and legal structures behind this dual-level identity is essential for navigating modern Europe. This course provides a clear foundation in how European citizenship developed, how it functions alongside national citizenship, and what it means for individuals in practice. You will explore the core legal freedoms, analyze current political challenges, and examine how modern digital rights and cross-border mobility shape the daily lives of citizens. What you'll learn: - Understand the historical evolution and legal foundations of EU citizenship. - Analyze the relationship between national identity and transnational European rights. - Explore the core freedoms of movement, residence, and political participation. - Examine modern digital citizenship rights, data privacy protections, and cross-border remote work regulations. - Identify the key challenges, democratic deficits, and future outlooks facing the Union today. The course begins with essential terminology and the historical treaties that established this transnational status. From there, you will progress through practical applications of EU rights, modern legal frameworks, and contemporary debates surrounding membership and mobility. This course is designed for beginners, students, professionals, and anyone curious about European integration, with no prior legal or political science background required.

The examples weren't always directly applicable to what was being taught. A bit confusing tbh.
