What Europe does for me - #EUandME
www.what-europe-does-for-me.eu
How does Europe affect our everyday lives? How does it impact our jobs, our families, our health care, our hobbies, our journeys, our security, our consumer choices and our social rights? And how is Europe present in our towns, cities and regions?

A very useful entry point written in many languages to show what the good effects of the EU and co. are. Especially good when talking to doubters in the more nationalistic political landscape recently in Europe.

    I believe for many EU doubters this debate can’t really be won on rational standpoints. Just because the EU funds stuff is not really at the core what these people care about. Its about nationalism and some kind of vague proud self sufficiency that is projected onto the past. As long as the EU is not an entity that people identify with, this will never change.

    We need more directly elected institutions on the EU level and even stronger EU integration. The EU is necessary for Europe to stay relevant on an international level and be a chance at nation building without violence and coercion.

      Yup. Exhibit A: Brexit and all the clusterfuck leading up to it.
