Siamo Europa 2022 | We're Europe 2022. Debates and in-depth analysis on the European Union - Trento, 13 and 14 May
nel ricordo di David Sassoli
"We have ambitious projects for our Europe (...) the Green Deal, the digital transition, a stronger and more democratic Europe, greater social justice, these are strong and indispensable projects that Europe is pursuing, and we must succeed in them out of loyalty to our fellow citizens.
But Europe also, and above all, needs a new project of hope, a project that unites us, a project that can embody our Union, our values and our civilisation, a project that is obvious to all Europeans and that allows us to get united.
I believe that this project can be built around three strong axes, a threefold desire for Europe that is unanimously shared by all Europeans: a Europe that innovates, a Europe that protects and a Europe that is a beacon. (...) Our Union is imperfect, it is always in the making. (...) It is now up to us to translate these visions into concrete actions, so that Europe maintains its rank and its promises in the service of all European citizens".
These words, taken from David Maria Sassoli's last speech to the European Council on 16 December 2021, are the starting point for the new edition of "We are Europe". Two days of meetings, debates and comparisons on the theme of the European Union, to build an increasingly competent and aware citizenship.
