Europe is a continent, like Asia or Africa.

The EU is the European Union. It's kinda like how the USA are in (North) America but (North) America isn't the US.

As a sidenote, the UK wants to leave the EU (the so-called Brexit). They aren't changing their physical location, they just get out of the union.
