FORUM: EUROPE2008: In Varietate Concordia
Since January 1st, 2007, the Union consists of 27 member states! Is further expansion desirable when the old 25 member states cannot successfully bring about an unequivocal policy? Does Europe need borders and if so, where do you draw the line? Croatia? Bosnia Herzegovina? Albania? Or Turkey? Georgia? Azerbeidzjan? And what about Russia? Or Canada? Israel?

History: Europe is facing it's most difficult challenge: how to create a united Europe? After the referenda on the new European Constitutional Law in 2005 and the following disappointment about the French and Dutch NO, Europe is further away from unification than ever. But as a result inertia about Europa was replaced by genuine interest. What does it mean to be European? What do we represent? How much personal identity do we want to hand over to become a unity? Europe2008: In Varietate Concordia is an emerging network, a unity within the Union, a conglomeration of energy culminating in cultural exchange and collaboration without borders. The project deals with the European Union as a whole and wants to raise questions about Europe in the past, the present and the future. Is Europe a new country with new borders or a concept for freedom and equality?
