Growing Together - Tommy & Rosy Episode 3

building a common future follow us on

tommyandrosy www.tommy-rosy.eu

This project is financed by the European Commission – DG Communication and is one of the Operations of the Joint Communication Plan between the Government of Malta, the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Introduction “Tommy and Rosy” are two characters featured in a children’s educational EU themed cartoon created by MEUSAC and financed by the European Commission.

It is completely dedicated to the young audience, providing an entertaining way to communicate to children and at the same time teaching them in a simple way the values and virtues of the European Union.

After the first and the second episodes, the cartoon has been developed to its third edition, which is closely linked to the first two. In fact, the main characters have grown into teenagers.

Tommy and Rosy were working as volunteers at the animal rescue centre in Episode 2. The third episode continues to build up on the previous episode with the image of a neglected and weak horse that has now changed into an attractive and energetic one.

New characters have joined the old ones in Episode 3 such as, Peppi, whose role is to encourage the children to take part in his project, an initiative focusing on the key aspects of “sharing the common good” enshrined in the EU policies (social, environmental, agricultural and educational) which are planned to be sustainable and completely balanced.

Furthermore, an important role is represented by Tommy and Rosy’s mum who encourages them to try and get some of their friends to join them when visiting

This project is financed by the European Commission – DG Communication and is one of the Operations of the Joint Communication Plan between the Government of Malta, the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Peppi’s project.

The cartoon brings together the function of the EU with the forces of nature and closely ties them throughout the episode. Obviously, the core message is that the EU is igniting a process of change whose aim is to inspire people, of different generations, to build a sustainable future, not just for themselves, but for future

ww

nations and generations.

Of course I do!

See how she shines!

We can even touch her without being bitten!

Do you remember what Sky looked like when we first brought her here?

Guys, this is Peppi, the mystery supplier of greens for the horses.

Tommy & Rosy are interrupted by the sound of a roaring Land Rover.

Why don’t you sell these vegetables? They seem to be too good for just feeding to the animals.

Peppi, would it be possible to see your place? Joy told me about your farming ideas and techniques.

It’s fair trade; I get manure from the horses, which helps me convert surplus vegetables into high-quality compost!

You guys are welcome… anytime.

You should attend one of Peppi’s courses… he gets EU funding. Encourage your parents to go along.

…crazy waistcoat & straw hat… so eighties Mum… an old hippy wanabee just like you!

Peppi’s project gets funding from the EU. It is open to people of all ages.

He seems like a great guy.

You should see his old car… funky hairstyle…

That’s enough of your cheek Tommy!

The conversation is interrupted by the phone ringing.

It’s Dad! Mum… it’s Dad on the phone!

Thanks Dad. Hold on… Mum is right here. I miss you!

Sorry love! Got to go!

Something has come up.

Let the kids do that course – maybe I’ll be able to join them!

Tommy is ready to get his hands dirty… no need to research – it sounds perfect to me!

Hi… the kids want to attend an EU course. It takes place on a farm. I will look into it further and let you know.

OK, I will. Stay safe… speak to you later!

The EU spends most of its budget on farming & fishing. About €56 billion a year… that’s amazing!

The EU ensures the veggies we eat are healthy & the farmers can take care of their fields… that’s what it’s all about.

Peace & Stability, Freedom, Security & Justice, Jobs, Equality, Rights of the Child… to me that’s progress!

Sustainable Development, Internal Markets, Protection of the Environment, Balanced Growth… green things!

I especially like that one – Solidarity between Generations!

The EU pays for scientific & technical research… teaching computer basics to developing new energy sources!

Tommy & Rosy decide to start the recruitment drive.

This is it Grandpa… I have turned over a new leaf… my big break into growing a better EU… a better world!!

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy… calm down my boy.

And who knows… soon we will all be able to fly around in our very own anti-gravity machines!

I will be driving the tractor all day and resting by the fire side at night… sleeping under the stars!

I can see it now… converting solar & wind power provides the electricity we need to power homes, factories & cars!

I remember Peppi… I would like to see what he has done with the EU’s help.

Tommy, you can put my name down.

I will come with you!

You are such a good example Violet!

You encourage social inclusion…

It all fits in with my school project… where money comes from and goes, and what the EU aims & objectives are.

…and you protect our heritage & culture by singing old Maltese songs.

Well… I will have to see how busy I am… you don’t want an old woman holding you back.

Violet, you know more about vegetables than any of us… please do come with us!

I heard that they love to sing songs at the farm.

On the rig, an unsecured segment from the main drill cut itself loose from its stabilising ties. Falling onto the deck, the segment causes havoc to equipment and men on deck.

Spread the butter equally across both sides of the bread…

Gender equality…

I love this idea.

25m high pressure hose with couplings checked and secured.

Hi Joe… I popped by to tell you about this course Tommy & I are attending… we want you to join us.

CPD? What is CPD?

Continuing Professional Development. We all need to keep on learning, no matter the age or profession.

Sounds fantastic but I can’t make it. Jessica on the other hand, is always keen to learn new skills… she is a CPD diva!

The EU funded course lasts for a year and its value is over €12,000… we didn’t have to pay a cent!

I learnt so much!

It’s a great example of the EU helping our government to sustain our people’s skills.

Jessica recalls the presentation about ‘Sustainable Tourism’ which she gave as part of her course on Advance Tourism.

Oh no… off she goes again… EU & diversity… I told her she’s got it all wrong!

Tommy and Rosy arrive at the gate of the Nature Project farm. Peppi greets the children and proceeds to take them on a farm tour.

This place is magic!

It has such a nice feel!

Rosy is right on the button.

Diversity leads to resilience… it’s like a spider web.

The strands represent different countries.

The combination is strong. If a strand is damaged, the others take the load.

Hi guys… this place is just so great!

Hey Peppi, you’ve grown a beard… does the EU not supply razor blades?

I love Malta & its people but I miss my family in Turkey.

I look forward to the day that Turkey joins the EU.

I had doubts about Malta joining the EU, but it has made our country a member of a larger, more united family.

Contrary to my home country Albania, everyone seems to be doing fine here‌ you do lack rain though!

The EU target for 2020 is to reduce poverty & decrease social exclusion‌ growing their own prosperity is the key.

You can even produce your own soil & compost.

Humanity can generate soil fertile enough to feed thousands of people.

Peppi takes the group to the composting toilet (humanure).

Some members of the group enter the hut to explore more.

You have got to be kidding… you want me to smell this?

Go on… I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Wow! What a lovely smell of soil just after the first rain of the season.

Saving water… no crazy chemicals… we start making soil.

Malta has another target for 2020… 10% of our energy must come from renewable sources.

It’s all about re-joining the natural cycle of life.

Abram explains that each EU member country pools in what money it can and then the EU re-distributes these to where they are needed.

These are known as funds.

The EU’s investments in technology & research help us identify ways to reduce carbon emissions.

Investment requires a lot of money…

The light & warmth of the sun, through the use of solar panels power Peppi’s house for free!

Wake-up… wake-up you city folks… time to get moving!

No matter your age, 20 minutes of daily exercise helps you to live healthier and without being a burden to others.

This little plant helps to keep pests away and so it actually protects the plants around it.

In this way, plants are very similar to the solidarity between the member states of the EU.

The answer is always about balance… giving & taking… this is reflected in our economies, culture & progress.

This big tree could be Germany or France… the smaller plants like Malta or Cyprus are returning the favour…

…they provide nitrogen in this case and protection against insects in this case.

Malta is in the middle… so that makes us the balancing point of Europe.

So this is what peace and well-being feels like!

The tour has come to an end and the group is enjoying the last moments around the bonfire.

It can only happen when we have certain freedoms & the security of life – water, soil & food for everybody.

We have to find new ways for everybody to have work they enjoy doing and allows them to progress physically & socially.

We live in a dangerous time if we continue to mess it up… but glorious if we get it right… we’ve already started!

Look around – we are like the United Nations here tonight!

The rights of children… to be well fed… to feel loved & respected… that’s vital for kids!

We believe in people… better levels of social justice… greater equality between men & women, no matter their race or age.

The protection of children’s rights is crucial.

Justice!

Peppi asks everyone to make a wish & say it out loud.

Clean seas!

No poverty!

Fairness!

Clean water!

Well-being!

Sustainability!

Rain!

Respect!

Compost made from poo!

Daddy!

This is the new age, for all ages, to change the world.

Apple Swan RENEWABLE ENERGY

An apple a day keeps the doctor away An apple is rich in calcium and phosphorus, with a juicy crunchy taste. With the help of your guardians, create an Apple Swan for a party with your friends to encourage them to eat fruit and vegetables.

© Jerry Abrahamson – http://goo.gl/YXqlh

Ren ewable En ergy is The wave of the future And, if we don’t start developing it We won’t be able to survive For we have gotten soft To our easy life And, we won’t know how to survive If we don’t start changing Ren ewable en ergy is here to stay And we have to start replacing Our en ergy supply With this everlasting resource

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!

Competition

Save the Planet Design an innovative 3D promotional poster to encourage Maltese consumers to save on electricity, water and fuel.

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.

Maze Fireman Joe has a few questions about how he can contribute to a better environment, but he can’t find Peppi. Can you help get him through the maze?

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.

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.

Seize the night, Seize the day, Things won’t always be this way.

Thousands of people are dying, In the night you hear children crying, Let’s stop the war, Our people are sore.

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.
