Misunderstanding the EU's Role
Students often confuse the EU's role in trade with that of the Commonwealth, thinking they serve the same purpose.
Clarify that the EU is primarily a political and economic union that facilitates trade among member countries, while the Commonwealth is a political association of countries, many of which are former territories of the British Empire, focusing on cultural and historical ties.
