Contemporary Challenges to Europe
By promoting debates on important political and social topics that affect the life of citizens all over Europe we try to promote respect and endorsement of Europe’s values and identity itself. By contributing their specific knowledge and personal perspectives into the debate they are both asked to lobby for support of their positions as well as forced to reflect on them on the basis of the intercultural experience made during the OpenForum. Citizens of Europe actively supports future projects and cooperation that emerge among participants.
In OpenFora Europe’s values, achievements and future challenges are at the centre of our attention. Among others our topics include the form and use of a European community of values (Prague), critical views on integration (Paris) and the reality of living European (Cascais).
