Dan il-proġett hu ffinanzjat mill-Kummissjoni Ewropea – DĠ Komunikazzjoni u huwa wieħed mill-attivitajiet tal-Pjan Konġunt ta’ Komunikazzjoni bejn il-Gvern ta’ Malta, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea u l-Parlament Ewropew.
Dahla ‘Tommy u Rosy’ huma ż-żewġ karattri prinċipali tal-cartoon edukattiv għat-tfal dwar l-Unjoni Ewropea, maħluq mill-MEUSAC u ffinanzjat mill-Kummissjoni Ewropea. Il-cartoon huwa kollu dedikat lit-tfal, biex jikkomunikalhom b’mod divertenti u sempliċi l-valuri u l-vantaġġi tal-Unjoni Ewropea.
Wara l-ewwel u t-tieni episodji, ġiet żviluppata t-tielet edizzjoni tal-cartoon, marbuta mill-qrib mal-ewwel tnejn. Fil-fatt, il-karattri prinċipali issa kibru u saru teenagers.
Tommy u Rosy, fit-tieni episodju kienu jaħdmu bħala voluntieri f’ċentru tassalvataġġ tal-annimali. It-tielet episodju jkompli jibni fuq ta’ qablu, bil-bidla ta’ żiemel, mitluq u dgħajjef, f’wieħed mimli enerġija.
Fit-tielet episodju ngħaqdu karattri ġodda ma’ dawk antiki; bħal Peppi, li xogħlu hu li jħajjar lit-tfal jieħdu sehem fil-proġett tiegħu li jiffoka fuq l-aspetti ewlenin tal‘qsim tal-ġid’ minquxa fil-politiki tal-Unjoni Ewropea (soċjali, ambjentali, agrikoli u edukattivi) ippjanati li jkunu sostenibbli u kompletament bilanċjati.
Barra minn hekk, omm Tommy u Rosy għandha l-irwol importanti li tħeġġiġhom jippruvaw iġibu ftit minn sħabhom ħalli jingħaqdu magħhom meta jżuru l-proġett ta’ Peppi.
Il-cartoon iġib flimkien il-funzjoni tal-Unjoni Ewropea u l-mod kif taħdem in-natura u torbothom mill-qrib matul l-episodju kollu. Naturalment, il-messaġġ prinċipali hu li l-Unjoni Ewropea qiegħda tqajjem proċess ta’ bidla li l-għan tiegħu hu li jispira l-popli ta’ ġenerazzjonijiet differenti biex jibnu futur sostenibbli; mhux għalihom biss, imma għall-ġenerazzjonijiet u n-nazzjonijiet tal-futur.

Dażgur li niftakar! Qisha debba differenti hux! Issa nistgħu mmissuha mingħajr ma tigdimna!
Tiftakar kif kienet tidher Sky meta ġejna hawn l-ewwel darba?
Tfal, dan Peppi, ir-raġel misterjuż li jġibilna l-ikel għaż-żwiemel!
Tommy u Rosy inħasdu mill-ħoss qawwi tal-Land Rover.
Dejjem kelli kurżità nkun naf għaliex ma tbigħx il-ħxejjex. Donnhom tajbin wisq biex titmagħhom ’l-annimali.
Peppi, nkunu nistgħu niġu naraw il-post tiegħek? Joy qaltli dwar l-ideat u l-metodi tal-biedja tiegħek.
Dan isir bi tpartit ġust. Jien inġib id-demel millistalel, u ż-żwiemel qed jgħinuni nikkonverti l-ħaxix żejjed f’kompost!
Ejjew bil-qalb kollha… merħba bikom!
Imisskom tmorru wieħed millkorsijiet ta’ Peppi… hu jirċievi fondi mill-Unjoni Ewropea (UE). Ħajru lill-ġenituri jiġu magħkom.
…il-ġakketta u l-kappell tat-tiben… kollox tal-eighties! Ma… xiħ u wannabe hippy bħalek!
Il-proġett ta’ Peppi ffinanzjat mill-UE. Miftuħ għal nies ta’ kull età.
Jidher fih tip. Trid tarah għaddej bil-karozza antika tiegħu… dak ix-xagħar funky…
Ejja biżżejjed issa Tommy!
Il-konverżazzjoni twaqqfet għaliex ċempel it-telefown.
Il-papà! Ma… hemm il-papà fuq il-telefown!
Grazzi papà ! Żomm ftit il-linja… il-mamà hawn qiegħda. Nimmissjak!
Aw qalbi! Ħa jkolli nħallik għax ġara xi ħaġa. Lit-tfal ħallihom imorru l-kors – forsi mmur magħhom!
Tommy lest li jagħmel xi ħaġa b’idejh?… m’hemmx għalfejn tfittex… għalija perfett!
Hello… It-tfal iridu jattendu kors tal-UE. Il-kors isir f’razzett. Issa nfittex iktar dettalji u nkellmek!
Ok, issa nibgħathom. Oqgħod attent… inkellmek aktar tard!
L-UE tonfoq ilmaġġoranza tal-baġit fuq il-biedja u s-sajd. Bejn wieħed u ieħor, €56 biljun fis-sena… somma kbira! L-UE tieħu ħsieb li l-ħxejjex li nieklu sustanzjuzi u li l-bdiewa jieħdu ħsieb l-għelieqi tagħhom… dik hija l-funzjoni primarja.
Il-Paċi u l-Istabbilità, il-Libertà, is-Sigurtà u l-Ġustizzja, ix-Xogħol, l-Ugwaljanza, id-Drittijiet tat-Tfal… progress!
L-Iżvilupp Sostenibbli, is-Suq Intern, Protezzjoni tal-Ambjent, Tkabbir Bilanċjat… kollha marbuta mal-ambjent!
Jien din togħġobni ħafna – Solidarjetà bejn ilĠenerazzjonijiet.
L-UE tħallas għarriċerka xjentifika u l-iżvilupp… tagħlim bażiku tal-kompjuter sal-ħolqien ta’ sorsi ġodda tal-enerġija!
Tommy u Rosy jiddeċiedu li jibdew jiġbru n-nies!
Wasal iż-żmien Nannu… ħa nibda folja ġdida… ser nibda naħdem biex ikollna UE aħjar… dinja aħjar.
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy… ikkalma waħda ibni.
U min jaf… forsi ma ndumux ma nibdew intiru ’l hawn u ’l hinn f’magni mingħajr gravità!
Inkun qed insuq it-tractor il-ġurnata kollha… billejl norqod taħt il-kwiekeb!
Qed nimmaġina… il-bidla tal-enerġija mix-xemx u mir-riħ biex tipprovdi l-elettriku biex tagħti l-enerġija lil djar, fabbriki u karozzi!
Niftakru lil Peppi… nixtieq nara x’irnexxielu jagħmel bl-għajnuna tal-fondi tal-UE. Tommy, niżżilli ismi.
Jien ġej miegħek!
Inti eżempju tassew tajjeb Violet! Inti tinkoraġġixxi l-inklużjoni soċjali…
Anke għall-proġett tal-iskola interessanti… minn fejn jiġu l-flus u xi jsir minnhom, u dwar x’inhuma l-għanijiet tal-UE.
…u tipproteġi l-kultura u l-patrimonju bil-kanzunetti Maltin li tkanta!
Hmmm… irrid nara skont kemm għandi xogħol x’nagħmel… ma tridux waħda xiħa mas-saqajn.
Violet, inti taf iktar dwar il-ħxejjex minna lkoll… u ejja Violet… ejja magħna!
Qaluli wkoll li jħobbu jkantaw f’dan ir-razzett!
Fuq ir-rig taż-żejt, il-parti mhux protetta lil hinn minn dik prinċipali fejn kien qiegħed isir it-tħaffir, inqatgħet mill-kumplament u għamlet ħsara lit-tagħmir u weġġgħet lin-nies fuq il-gverta ta’ bastiment.
Dellek il-butir indaqs maż-żewġ naħat tal-ħobża…
Ugwaljanza bejn is-sessi… togħġobni din l-idea.
Pajp ta’ 25m ta’ pressjoni għolja bl-igganċjar iċċekjat u marbut.
Hello Joe… ġejt hawn biex ngħidilkom dwar dan il-kors li ser nattendu jien u Tommy… irridukom tiġu magħna.
CPD? CPD x’inhuwa?
Continuing Professional Development. Irridu nibqgħu nitgħallmu, huma x’inhuma Dan il-kors, iffinanzjat l-etajiet jew ix-xogħol mill-UE, idum sena sħiħa u tagħna. jiswa iktar minn €12,000… lanqas kellna nħallsu ċenteżmu!
Jinstema’ veru interessanti imma ma nistax niġi. Però, Jessica dejjem trid titgħallem xi ħaġa ġdida… dik stilla fis-CPD!
Tgħallimt ħafna. Għalija dan huwa eżempju ta’ kif l-UE tgħin lill-gvern biex issostni l-ħiliet ta’ kull individwu.
Jessica tiftakar fil-preżentazzjoni li tat dwar Sustainable Tourism, li kienet parti mill-kors fuq Advance Tourism.
Hawn aħna… ser terġa’ tibda… UE u d-diversità… u jien nibqa’ ntennilha li għandha tort!
Tommy u Rosy jaslu fuq l-għatba tar-razzett Proġett Natura. Peppi jilqa’ lit-tfal, jagħtihom merħba u jeħodhom dawra mar-razzett.
Dan il-post maġiku! Hawn veru qed inħossni tajba! Rosy għandha raġun fuq dan il-każ.
Id-diversità twassal għal aktar flessibilità… din qisha l-għanqbuta tal-brimba.
Il-ħjut jirrappreżentaw pajjiżi differenti. Ir-rabta hija qawwija. Jekk waħda mill-ħjut ikollha l-ħsara, l-oħrajn jieħdu l-piż fuqhom.
Hello ħbieb… Kemm hawn kollox sabiħ! Aw Peppi, inti kibritlek il-leħja mill-aħħar darba li rajtek… jaqaw l-UE ma tqassamx imwies tal-leħja?
Jien togħġobni Malta u ċ-ċittadini tagħha imma nimmissja l-familja fit-Turkija. Nistenna l-jum li t-Turkija tingħaqad mal-UE.
Kelli ftit dubji dwar id-dħul ta’ Malta fl-UE, imma pajjiżna sar membru ta’ familja akbar.
Imqabbel ma’ pajjiżi, l-Albanija, kulħadd donnu sejjer tajjeb hawn… però għandkom nuqqas ta’ xita!
L-għan tal-UE għas-sena 2020 huwa li tnaqqas il-faqar u l-esklużjoni soċjali… it-tkabbir tal-ġid tagħhom stess huma fundamentali.
Tista’ anke tipproduċi l-ħamrija u l-kompost inti stess.
L-umanità tista’ tiġġenera ħamrija għammiela biżżejjed biex titma’ eluf ta’ persuni.
Peppi jieħu lill-grupp jara l-post fejn isir il-kompost (humanure).
Xi membri mill-grupp jidħlu fl-għarix biex jesploraw.
Int qed tiċċajta… tridni nxomm dan?
Isa xommu… naħseb ser tkun sorpriż!
Wow! Din ir-riħa tal-ħamrija wara l-ewwel xita tal-istaġun!
Naħlu inqas ilma… ma nużawx kimika… u b’dan il-mod bdejna nagħmlu l-ħamrija.
Malta għandha għan ieħor sas-sena 2020… 10% mill-enerġija tagħha trid tiġi minn sorsi rinnovabbli. Kollox jiddependi minn kif aħna nerġgħu ningħaqdu fiċ-ċiklu naturali tal-ħajja.
Abram jispjega li kull Stat Membru tal-UE jagħti s-sehem finanzjarju tiegħu skont dak li jista’ joffri. Imbagħad l-UE terġa’ tqassam dawn il-flus skont fejn hemm il-bżonn. Dawn jissejħu fondi. L-investimenti tal-UE, fit-teknoloġija u fir-riċerka, jgħinu biex jinstabu metodi ġodda li… …jippermettulna nnaqqsu l-emissjonijiet tal-karbonju. L-investiment jirrikjedi ħafna flus…
Id-dawl u s-sħana taxxemx, bl-użu tal-pannelli, jagħtu l-enerġija lid-dar ta’ Peppi b’xejn!
Qumu minn hemm… isa ejja… iċċaqalqu sar il-ħin!
Għandek kemm għandek żmien, 20 minuta ta’ eżerċizzju kuljum jgħinek tgħix aħjar mingħajr ma tkun ta’ piż għal ħaddieħor.
Din il-pjanta żżomm l-insetti ’l bogħod u b’hekk tieħu ħsieb il-pjanti ta’ madwarha.
Il-pjanti qishom is-solidarjetà li hemm fost l-Istati Membri tal-UE.
Il-bilanċ huwa s-soluzzjoni… tagħti u tieħu lura… u dan tista’ tarah ukoll fl-ekonomiji, fil-kulturi u fil-progress.
Din is-siġra l-kbira tista’ tkun il-Ġermanja, jew Franza… il-pjanti ż-żgħar, bħal Malta u Ċipru, qed jirritornaw il-favur… …huma jipprovdu n-nitroġenu u protezzjoni mill-insetti.
Malta tinsab fiċ-ċentru… dan jagħmilna l-punt ewlieni ta’ bilanċ għall-Ewropa.
Issa qed nifhem kif tħossok tajjeb u fil-paċi! It-tour wasal fl-aħħar u l-grupp qiegħed igawdi l-aħħar mumenti madwar il-ħuġġieġa.
Dan jista’ jiġri biss meta jkollna ċerti libertajiet u s-sigurtà tal-ħajja – ilma, art għammiela u ikel għal kulħadd.
Irridu nsibu modi biex kulħadd ikollu xogħol li jagħtih opportunità li jiżviluppa fiżikament u soċjalment.
Qed ngħixu fi żmien perikoluż jekk ma nagħmlux l-affarijiet kif suppost… imma jkun żmien glorjuż jekk kollox isir bil-għaqal… diġà bdejna bit-tajjeb!
Ħarsu lejn xulxin – qisna l-Ġnus Magħquda llejla!
Id-drittijiet tat-tfal…. li tkun dejjem b’żaqqek mimlija… li tħossok maħbub u rispettat… dak importanti għat-tfal!
Aħna nemmnu filkapaċità tan-nies… livell aħjar ta’ ġustizzja soċjali… iktar ugwaljanza bejn is-sessi, ta’ kull razza u età.
Id-drittijiet u l-protezzjoni tat-tfal huma fiċ-ċentru talisforzi kollha tagħna!
Ġustizzja!
Peppi jitlob lil kulħadd jagħmel xewqa u jgħajjatha biex jismagħha kulħadd.
Ibħra ndaf!
Ma jkunx hawn iktar faqar!
Ugwaljanza!
Ilma nadif għal kulħadd!
Ngħixu ħajja tajba!
Sostennibilità!
Ħafna xita!
Rispett!
Ħafna kompost!
Papà!
Dan hu żmien ġdid, għal nies ta’ kull età, biex jibdlu d-dinja biċċa biċċa.

Eco Friendly Tip
Choose organic veggies
Ingredients 1 large red apple ¼ cup lemon juice Method 1. Cut off a slice from one side of the apple, about halfway between the core and the outer edge, to make a flat base. 2. Apply lemon juice to prevent it from getting discoloured. Keep aside. 3. With a small, sharp knife, cut out a small wedge from one side. Make two cuts on both sides of the wedge, about 1/8 of an inch away from the outer edge, and cut out another slice. 4. You have just cut a slice outside a slice. Repeat this process twice. Do not remove the slices,
but make sure that they are cut through. You now have four slices that telescope into each other.
5. Carefully ease out the slices. Apply lemon juice and telescope them back together again. Repeat the entire procedure on the other side of the apple. You have now made wings on both sides of the fruit. 6. From the first reserved slice, carve out the head and neck of a swan. 7. Place the apple flat on its base, and position the neck of the swan on the top towards the stem end (the broader side of the apple). 8. Now open out the telescoping slices half an inch apart and place them back in the spaces on either side to give a feather-like effect. You’re ready! For more information, do an online search for ‘creative carving of fruits and vegetables’.

The European Anthem In 1972, the Council of Europe (the same body that designed the European flag) adopted Ludwig Van Beethoven’s final movement “Ode to Joy” melody, from the Ninth Symphony, composed in 1823, as its own anthem. The poem, written by Friedrich von Schiller in 1785, expresses his idealistic vision of a united human race. The conductor Herbert Von Karajan Scan me with was asked to write three instrumental a smartphon e arrangements – for solo piano, for tommy-rosy.eu/anthem.html wind instruments and for symphony orchestra. The European anthem has no official lyrics, however, in the universal language of music, this anthem expresses the same ideals of freedom, peace and solidarity, which are the pillars of Europe.

In 1985, it was adopted by European Union Heads of State or Government as the official anthem of the European Union, which is played during official occasions by both organisations. It is not intended to replace the national anthems of the Member States but rather to celebrate the values they all share and their unity in diversity.
Both the European Union and the Council of Europe refer to this anthem as the European Anthem, because it is the Council’s intention that it represents Europe as a whole.

PEACE IS MANY THINGS © Grace Horrocks – http://goo.gl/9QCid
Peace is being quiet, caring for friends, and giving hugs and kisses. Peace is praying, loving, seeing animals sing, being patient, sleeping, writing, singing to nature and watching swans swim . Peace is giving love to nature, giving joy to people and planting flowers in the Spring.

Snakes + Ladders
The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the end by moving across the board from bottom to top. The first player to roll 6 can enter the board. Each subsequent player must also throw a 6 to enter the board. The dice must be rolled again to show the number of squares that the player entering the board may move initially. Place the marker (such as a coloured button) on the appropriate square. Each player may only roll once. You each take a go. The person with the highest amount starts first. The person with the second highest goes second and so on. Complete the game. The first player to reach the top is the winner but you must have the correct number on the dice to land on the last square.
Snake: if a player lands at the tip of the snake’s head, his or her marker slides down to the square at the snake’s tail. Ladder: if a player lands on a square that is at the base of a ladder, his or her marker moves to the square at the top of the ladder and continues from there.

Rosy “So we looked it all up and I think it all makes so much sense. It all fits in with my school project on the EU; where the money comes from and goes to and just what the aims and of the EU are. You are such a good example Violet! You know about social inclusion and you are a protector of our and culture with all those old Maltese songs you sing so beautifully.” Let’s Recycle Violet “Oh Rosy… such youth, such ! You make it sound like I already have a spot waiting for me in Brussels. Hmmm… Brussels sprouts – never a big seller I am afraid, it’s the children… they don’t seem to appreciate them much.”

Look around, there’s so much plastic, Let’s recycle, it’s fantastic.
Rosy “Violet, where do you get all your ? Why don’t you come with us for a few days and see this place with us? Please Violet, please!!!”
Don’t forget, about paper and glass, Recycle together, with your entire class.
Violet “Well I will have to see how busy I am. Besides, it sounds like something just for people – you don’t want an old woman holding you back.”
We’ll make sure, we n ever litter, Let’s recycle, we’re not quitters.
Rosy “You! You of all ! You are the youngest-old person I know! Besides you know more about vegetables than any of us! You have got to come with us – oh… yes… mmm… I nearly forgot… I was told that they also love to a lot there you know!”
When we place our garbage, in the right bin , Both us and nature, will clearly win . Thanks for keeping the environment healthy and clean , Recycling is fun , and also quite green .

Cajt It-tlett ibniet ta’ mara anzjana, li kienet kważi nieqsa mid-dawl, xtaqu juru lil ommhom kemm iħobbuha billi jagħtuha l-isbaħ rigal. It-tlieta li huma ppruvaw joffru xi ħaġa aħjar minn ħuthom l-oħra. L-ewwel bint xtratilha dar kbira u maestuża. It-tieni bint xtratilha karozza moderna u teknoloġika. It-tielet bint riedet tkun differenti, allura tatha pappagall li kien jaf jittraduċi l-kliem mill-Malti għall-Ingliż għaliex kien ġie mgħallem id-dizzjunarju. Ittielet bint kienet ċerta li r-rigal tagħha kien l-isbaħ u l-aħjar. L-anzjana rringrazzjat lit-tlett ibniet. Lill-ewwel bint qaltilha li d-dar kbira hi vera sabiħa, imma kbira wisq biex tnaddafha u tieħu ħsiebha. Lit-tieni bint qaltilha li l-karozza mgħammra b’kollox, imma hi ma ssuqx u tippreferi timxi. Wara, marret fuq it-tielet bint u rringrazzjatha tar-rigal sabiħ li tatha – it-tiġieġa vera niżlitilha għasel ma’ platt brodu.
Il-bejjiegh tal-Vacuum Cleaners Bejjiegħ tal-vacuum cleaners xtaq jagħti impressjoni tajba tal-prodott tiegħu. Ħabbat l-ewwel bieb u fetħitlu mara; imma qabel ma taha ċans titkellem, daħal ġewwa u xerred ħafna laħam ikkapuljat fuq it-tapit. Bejjiegħ: Sinjura, jekk din il-vacuum cleaner ma tnaddaflekx dan kollu sal-aħħar farka, niekol il-laħam kollu li tfajt mal-art. Mara: Trid Ketchup mal-laħam? Bejjiegħ: Għalfejn? Mara: Għax għandna ħsara fid-dawl u mhux se jiġu jsewwuh qabel għada.

The world can’t help itself, Who cares about your wealth , Help me to help you, Show the world what you can do.
Min Jien? Itmagħni, u ngħix; tini l-ilma, u mmut. Inti twieġeb lili, avolja jien qatt ma nistaqsik domandi. Aktar m’hemm, anqas tara. Jien bla piż, imma tista’ tarani. Poġġini f’barmil u nagħmlu eħfef. Ntir il-ġurnata kollha imma ma mmur imkien. Nimla kamra, imma ma niħux spazju.
