Description

Futures of Europe is an initiative in which European citizens seek and discuss answers about the future of life in Europe in the upcoming decades, and their hopes and fears for Europe and the European idea as such.

The initiative is part of and supported by FutureLab Europe, a network of young Europeans that are engaged in a variety of civic initiatives, and will consist of two workshops in Cologne, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark.

For the digital part of the project, contributors that will share their ideas and essays on one or more of the following questions are needed:

• How do you want your local community to look like in 30 years?
• How do you want your community to function/be organized in 30 years?
• How do you want your region/country to look like in 30 years?
• What do you want Europe to stand for in 30 years?

Guidelines

• Length: 500-1500 words;
• Style: essay;
• Quotations: as needed, Harvard in-text quotations preferred.

Costs

There are no costs for participation. The essays will be posted in the project’s and project partners’ websites and social media. Lastly, selected articles will, if possible, be presented at the FutureLab Annual Conference on Sept. 20th-22nd.

How to apply?

The next deadline for contributions is 24th of June.

We look forward to your contributions in English, Danish, German or French under futuresofeurope@gmail.com
