Europe is important to me, but what can I myself do for Europe? This is where our non-partisan, non-profit initiative “Do something for Europe!”, founded in February 2019, comes into play. We see ourselves as a civic facilitator, inspiring, motivating and supporting individuals, groups and institutions who want to get involved and make a commitment to a united Europe and its values. “Do something for Europe!” aims to encourage people to stand up for Europe, actively and visibly. We can’t abandon Europe to the people who want to abolish it. Let’s do something for Europe together!
For us, in concrete terms that means:
The association “Do something for Europe!” acts as a springboard for projects, campaigns and support measures designed to bring to life these four imperatives. We work with a range of cooperation and project partners to do so.
In keeping with our non-partisan stance, we have deliberately chosen not to make any concrete political demands or develop any concepts concerning how Europe or the European Union should develop. Rather, we are concerned with strengthening the basic shared pro-European consensus and bringing to life the European idea in terms of understanding among nations, with the emphasis not on the institutions of Europe but on the people of Europe.
You think you or your organisation can do something for Europe? Let’s talk.
