Keywords: Environment, Economy, Mercosur, Europe, Society

Abstract

Society has never been as connected and globalized as it is today. Neither do its problems. For this reason, it is imperative that these issues are also tackled collectively. Using the deductive methodology, as well as an oral interview conducted with the member of the European Parliament, Deputy Anna Cavazzini, the present work seeks to analyze the social engagement through the social movement Right to Repair and the rescue of the discussion about the agreement between Mercosur and the European Union. It is concluded that citizens, especially the youth, have shown greater concern with the environment and the global economy, participating in and influencing governmental decisions.
