The Delegation of the European Commission in Ukraine launches a broad scale TV information campaign to be implemented through two TV projects, TV series WWW.Europe.Life and documentary series The New Old World. The series will be first broadcast on the STB nationwide TV channel, and then rebroadcast through the Unika TV regional network, as well as the KTM and IVK cable channels in Kyiv.

WWW.Europe.Life is a series of programs about topics presenting top importance for Europe, influencing lives of Europeans today and defining their tomorrow, making media hot stories, and getting into the focus of public attention. The authors of the program will update you on the impact that certain European developments have on Ukraine, the status of similar areas in Ukraine, as well as UkraineТs pace towards harmonization with European standards. WWW.Europe.Life will also make weekly presentations of EU candidate states featuring interviews with European and Ukrainian prominent public figures. The first program will be broadcast at 9.10 am on February 14, 2004 on STB. The New Old World is a series of 30-minute documentaries on EU policies in various economic and social areas. The series will deliver information on reforms undertaken within the European Union and transformations that candidate states have gone through over the integration period. The films will also show people famous in their country and public opinion leaders from all over the world, as well as ordinary people from France, UK, Poland and other countries. It will be an excellent opportunity for all Ukrainians to get a complete picture of various aspects of European everyday life, how Europeans earn and spend money, who takes the lead in European families and why, whether Europeans face the parent-children problem and how they solve it, what flats are good for Europeans and how much they cost them, what they are afraid of and what they are confident about, what European education is like and what benefits it brings, who European children want to look like etc. This TV project is financed by the European Commission Delegation in Ukraine and implemented by the Profi TV news agency.
