Making Europe Again Information

ABOUT We are a Non-Governmental Organization. Our aim is to bring the European Project back to life, to promote our rich and diverse cultures and a stronger sense of community among us Europeans. STORY March the 25th 2017 marks the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, that led to the creation of the European Economic Community, which later on turned into today’s European Union. A political crisis has gripped the European Union. Refugees from various war-torn countries fled and are fleeing to the EU by the millions. In the still tangible wake of the recent economic crisis, solidarity and cohesion within the Community are endangered. The United Kingdom’s people have already voted to leave the European Union — others might follow. Recent studies show that Europe’s youths’ attitude towards the European Union is rather negative. Especially in member states suffering from high rates of youth unemployment like Greece, Spain and Italy, adolescents feel neglected. Recalling the Treaty, we are creating this event in order to revive the European project, reevaluating the future of the Union’s identity, its core values, as well as obligatory changes. In short, we want to reshape the European Project. By gathering innovative ideas from Universities, from centres of knowledge as well as from people themselves, we aim to reunite the EU and its institutions with Europe’s citizens and, therefore, its future decision makers.
