We see Europe first and foremost as a cultural space and a state of mind, much older and less obsessed by borders than the current European project. There is a growing sense of urgency. A societal paradigm shift is needed to inspire the European political body in the making, nothing short of a ‘New Renaissance’.
We consider Europe much larger than the political capital of Brussels and the renewed axis between Germany and France.
We find Europe's political discourse lacks scenarios on how to address global issues such as migration, super diversity, climate change, the intense energy use, the financial crisis, inequality, unemployment, terrorism, ... in a substantial way.
We have shown our involvement in the European project many times already, by calling upon our leaders and by participating in numerous debates with European decision makers.
