We strongly believe in the idea of a European Union. However, after decades of a painful and abrupt process of European integration, we have come to ask ourselves, “what kind of Europe” we should wish for? In our universe of beliefs and perceptions, we cherish the European Union as a starting point for a number of important accomplishments, both in the continent and globally, related to the promotion of peace, the mobility of people and values, the exchange of culture and knowledge. At the same time, we feel growing concern for the high bureaucratization, narrow legitimacy and public apathy that define European affairs, setting off from peoples’ ignorance as well as a system of increased complexity that disenchants citizens and disinclines their participation.We believe this is not the only way. And we believe that the way for breaching with the existing, self-maintaining realities of EU policy making is the active involvement and participation of the driving force, the object and subject of the European Union; and that is its people. For, we believe that “No kind of Europe” can be created without their inclusion. We envisage a sexier Europe for its constituencies, an inclusive Europe, a transparent Europe, a peaceful Europe, a growing Europe, Europe of people with a common sense of belonging. This project will allow a young French volunteer for 6 months to integrate the Inter Alia association Greece which aims to encourage young citizens to discuss, participate and drive projects on European issues.This long-term EVS hosting project will allow the volunteer to participate in all activities of this association:youth exchanges, job shadowing, Intercultural Coaching for young workers, analysis, reflection on themes that addresses the European Union ... such as immigration, security, taxation, climate, ..The project will take place in Athens from October 1 to April 30, 2017.
