Euroopa Parlamendi üheksandale ametiajale vajutasid oma pitseri ülemaailmne COVID-19 pandeemia ja Venemaa agressioonisõda Ukraina vastu. Tervishoiukriisi ja geopoliitiliste raputuste taustal keskendus parlament sel ametiajal rohe- ja digipöördele, et suurendada Euroopa Liidu vastupanuvõimet ja ühtlasi tugevdada liidu demokraatlikke väärtusi.

Aleppo shakes with explosions and gunfire day and night in both the government and rebel sides. But for supporters of President Bashar Assad at least, there is comfort in the growing sense of imminent victory in the city. A rebel defeat in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and former commercial center, is likely to reverberate across the war-torn country, where opposition forces continue to hold out in smaller, more disconnected areas.

Are you a game breaker or a game changer? The game, played out as an intense Rubik’s Cube competition, is an allegorical contest between Europe and a rival. Both competitors adapt the game to suit their own particular vision: but whereas aggression only conjures up images of conflict and instability, Europe’s ability to see the future is the only strategy capable of changing the game, widening it's limit, in a search for sustainable progress out of disorder. In an ever-changing world, do we seek to maintain chaos in the short-term or look beyond the here and now to ensure a stable future? Game Changers was the opening film presented to Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament (EP), Klaus Welle, EP Secretary-General, Philippe Législe-Costa, French Ambassador to the EU, the EP management, and streamed thrice to the EP staff during all the plenary sessions throughout the 9th Management Innovation Day on 1 July 2022 in Brussels.
