Europe is / not 
 
  
 Europe is 
My homeland.  
A space to be able to realise my dreams 
Many people with same values and the belief in human rights.  
Something we should and can be proud of .  
A country with a flag which I really like!  
 
 
Europe is 
A mental construction in order to connect and unify a continent politically, economically, culturally and socially.
  
Europe is 
Diversity of cultures.  
A place for many ethnic groups
  
 
Europe is  
A frame in which we are living and working.  
We construct it every day anew .  
  
Europe is 
An idea of unity based on economic and cultural aspects. It is a dynamic space which is constantly (re)constructed by us. 
 
  
Europe is … 
Something in some peoples mind.  
A unique opportunity for mutual learning,  cooperation and long-term-thinking which is built on inner differences and diversity.
 
  
Europe is not serious, reflexive, self-critical.
It is a dream that makes us poetic and open-minded.  
It is a reality of differences.
 
  
Europe shall not be 
A union that is aggressive 
Smaller 
 
  
Europe should not be … 
Exclusive, hostile, aggressive, eurocentric, elitary. 
 
  
We don't want a Europe of war and intolerance and homogeneity. 
  
 
  We don't want a Europe
of cultural hierarchies,
an economic and technocentric union without any sense of common values and visions.
 
  
Europe should not be Hegemonic, politically extreme correct.  
It should not have a centre of power.
