EUROPE 2014 - how do you want it to be ?

One fight is over. The fight for a new European Parliament. Congratulations to all elected MEPs !

But the debate during the election campaign was not impressive. Where were the Visions? Where were the new and creative plans for Europe for the years to come?

A NEW fight starts NOW. A fight to stimulate a real and forwardlooking debate on how we want Europe to develop. A debate across borders. A debate with NEW ideas and NEW participants. A debate which hopefully also can inspire the new parliamentarians.

ACTION EUROPE 2014 has started.

Join in. Give your pro-active contributions and suggestions.

Working together is better than going alone - not least in politics. Let's show WHAT WE WANT WITH AND FROM EUROPE.

Six possible subjects to start the group:

1) How do we mobilise people in the fight for the climate?

2) How do we best learn from other countries how to handle the present crisis ? Concretely - untraditionally.

3) Suggestions on how to follow what citizens in other countries are interested in and worried about ? We can probably learn something - be inspired

4) Let's get cheaper mobile phone fees - all over Europe. And also free WiFi ( paid by commercials ). To communicate is crucial in today's world. Let's ensure that it is cheap and if possible free. How ?

5) Let's work closer together in education, not least higher education. Why not stimulate super universities, where our very best students and researchers work together ?

6) Use Obama-like Communication 2.0 methods to involve us all in a pro-active debate on Europe. With parliamentarians, with activists in other countries, with each other. How ?
