ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation

Ok kiddo, so imagine you have a group of friends and you want to do something fun together, like play some games or go to the park. But sometimes your friends live far away and it's hard to get everyone together. That's kind of like what happens in Europe, except it's not just friends, it's countries!

The European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation is like a club for different countries to work together and do things that benefit everyone. They can share ideas and resources to make things better for people who live in those countries.

For example, let's say two countries in the club are France and Spain. France might be really good at making cheese and Spain might be really good at growing olives. So they can work together to make a really yummy salad with cheese and olives! And because they're in the club together, it helps them trade goods and make money too.

It's a way for countries to be friends and work together to make things better for everyone!
