The first European Citizens' Initiative is here!
Hooray! Every day some more Lisbon Treaty innovations. Today I came across a campaign for the first European Citizens’ Initiative. (Hat tip: Andrew Burgess) Good news is that it is not an animal rights campaign but a campaign for a “Free Sunday“. Regardless of the idea behind the “free Sunday”, the timing and the execution [...]

Horror at the the polling station
The first video (out of a series of 3 I guess) of a online viral video campaign was just launched by the European Parliament in order to promote the European parliament elections.

What story should Europe tell? – It's your turn!
Recently, the debate surrounding the apparently missing narrative of the EU gained momentum. Timothy Garton Ash thinks that “old-fashioned grand narratives and Euromyth will no longer do the trick” and proposes that Freedom, Peace, Law, Prosperity, Diversity and Solidarity should be at the centre of a new debate.

Speak up Europe!
A new campaign to foster a European debate just started a few days ago. “Speak up Europe” wants to “facilitate the debate about the European Union”.
