Dear federalist friends,
One year ago, the Union of
European Federalists (UEF) embarked on our “Democracy is Europe: Remember to Revive”
journey across the Baltics and Central and Eastern Europe. Two main ideas were
behind this: on one hand, to raise awareness about the central role of European
values in the revolutions of 1989-1991; on the other hand, to encourage a
reflection on the future of Europe, European democracy and the Rule of Law. After
our online stops in Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia, and our physical ones
in Gdańsk (PL) and Prague (CZ), UEF’s
#DemocracyIsEurope project is coming to an end with our final conference in
Brussels on 2-3 December 2021.
Brussels is the chosen scenario in which the project “democracy activators”,
participants, stakeholders and researchers will present and discuss the
outcomes of the project, commemorate membership in the EU of the aforementioned
Member states, and advocate for further European integration based on the
strengthening and protection of democracy and the Rule of Law.
