Networking Event in Berlin
Europe before the European elections
HOW CAN THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESS SUCCEED IN THE FUTURE?
Europe's identity is multifaceted and characterized by different cultures, diversity and variety. There are many aspects that unite people in Europe, but there are also differences and challenges that can lead to tensions. Despite the differences, there is (still) a greater desire for cooperation and a strong Europe based on the fundamental values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law. One challenge is to find a balance between national identities and European integration in order to make the European Parliament elections to be a democratic celebration of Europeans. How can the EU manage these and other challenges against the setting of the current intra-European and global crises surrounding it? What role do education policy programs play shortly before the European Parliament elections? How can they strengthen and promote European values?
Katharina Braig, Head of Division for European Parliament Affairs, Federal Foreign Office, and Manica Hauptman, Head of Political at the Representation of the European Commission in Germany, and Prof. Dr. Thorsten Faas, Professor of political science and election researcher at the Free University of Berlin, will discuss this with you. .
