Some Thoughts on European Identity
Some Thoughts on European Identity

Summary/Abstract: This overview briefly introduces the program and its participants, focusing mainly on the theme of the panel discussion, i.e. European identity. The insights of the six panellists are presented in detail, highlighting the different aspects of European identity: its multidimensionality, its use in European Union law, its personal multicultural conception, close relationship with common democratic values, its relationship with national identity, and its permanent change. Different narratives were also highlighted in relation to where Europeans live, their culture, history, and national values. At the beginning and at the end of the discussion, the audience was asked to identify the three things that they most associate with European identity. Based on these, two slightly different word clouds were formed and displayed.
