There are numerous reasons why a united Europe is important for the citizens of the Member States. Be it the stable currency, internal security, consumer protection, the commitment to healthy food and a clean environment, but above all the peace that the “European Community” has guaranteed for 70 years.
However, due to developments such as Brexit, increasing European skepticism and disillusionment with politics, the EU is facing major challenges and possibly also a turning point. A lot of what Europe can be proud of is taken for granted by some citizens, but is usually no longer perceived as European achievements.
Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the EU has repeatedly been criticized for being inactive. But even if the member states have more leeway for emergency measures, the EU has made a significant contribution to crisis management - largely unnoticed by the public.
The European Days Board of Trustees under the leadership of ÖkR President Franz Titschenbacher and the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein have therefore set themselves the goal of raising awareness of the topic of Europe, especially among our young people, with the Europe Days “Future Europe - Evolution instead of Revolution”. to awaken again.
In 2020, due to COVID, the kick-off event was held as a webinar. For this purpose, numerous personalities from the church, politics, business and education were won over, who explained the many advantages of a European Union to the interested audience with interesting specialist lectures.
