Council vs European Council: What’s the Difference?

Source: Council of the European Union (video statements)

Two councils. Almost the same name. Completely different jobs.
If you’ve ever wondered what the European Council actually does — and how it’s different from the Council of the EU — you’re not alone.
Here’s the simple breakdown:
● The European Council = EU leaders. They deal with the big-picture stuff: climate goals, major crises, long-term strategy.
● The Council of the EU = national ministers. They negotiate and adopt EU laws. This is where the technical details get hammered out and voted on.
One sets the goals. The other turns them into action.
In this video, we explain how they work together, who leads each one and why understanding the difference between them actually matters.

The Same Soil: What Grows After Cocaine | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

From Coca Fields to Legal Futures in #Colombia

In the hills of Putumayo, Colombia, the land tells two stories.

For decades, coca cultivation fueled violence, illicit economies, and fear. Today, some farmers are choosing a different path.
In this meditative documentary, UN News correspondent Victoria Fernandez travels to rural Colombia to meet the farmers, producers, and exporters transforming former coca-growing land into fields of sacha inchi and sugar cane.

Through intimate conversations with Sandra Herrera, Doris Caicedo, Delfina Arboleda, Mao Bastidas, and exporter Christian Arias, the film explores how alternative development — supported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) — is creating legal livelihoods and challenging the grip of transnational organized crime.

Shot in the fields, processing plants, and border regions of southern Colombia, The Same Soil is a story of risk, resilience, and the fragile work of cultivating peace.
