Goal	To gain insight into historic events that shaped European integration through cartoons. To familiarize yourself with the European Navigator website, a multimedia tool on the history of European Integration.
Introduction	Cartoons are a good way to get a better feel for the sentiment that surrounded major steps in European integration. In this exercise you will select a cartoon from a significant moment and analyze it.
Steps	Go to the website of CVCE and search the keyword: cartoon. (If desired, you can access the page in English, German and French.) Search for a cartoon that reflects on an episode in European integration and copy it in the answering screen.
Questions	Briefly annotate the cartoon by describing the context and reflecting upon the message the cartoonist tried to convey. Are their features that make the cartoon very time-specific? Are there parallels with today’s politics and debates in the EU?
