Lors de l’exposition "Next Generation, Please" en 2016, une question toute simple a été posée à des étudiants belges: qu’est-ce que l’identité européenne? Réfléchis toi aussi à ce que tu répondrais à cette question. Pour les jeunes belges, il existe un réseau de connexions reliant différents pays, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur de l’UE. Que pourrait-on faire pour renforcer le sentiment d’appartenance à l’Europe dans l’identité des Européens? Comment s’articulent, selon toi, les plans local, national et européen dans ta propre identité? Que signifient pour toi les mots «unité» et «diversité»?
EN CE QUI TE CONCERNE: AS-TU LE SENTIMENT D’APPARTENIR À L’EUROPE ET DE QUELLE MANIÈRE?

I have always felt like a European citizen, but I know, that it's not very common in my country (Poland). I can see, that the European identity rises, when a man has a contact with so-called European culture. Of course, we all know, that the Western culture (so the European one too) is based on Greek-Roman legacy, but people don't notice that in their everyday life. Travelling abroad and meeting foreigners in our homeland can be the easiest way to open our minds and make us follow to the sentence 'Think global - act local'. But to let it happen in reality we have to remember, that the identity is something, that becomes a part of ourselves, so it's developing from the positive memories and associations. Like we identify ourselves as the part of our families because of the nice childhood throwbacks, we develop our 'Europeanness' by feeling as a part of the great community of Europeans. It means, that not only symbols and ideas stick people together, but also the similarities between ones' living standards or the access to effective rights protection. The more people become involved in the life of societies, the stronger the European identity among the EU citizens is.
I feel more European than Spanish. I take huge pride in everything we have accomplished as a unit: freedom of movement, all of the opportunities like Erasmus+, internships abroad, and just having the possibility of moving anywhere within the EU just like that, without needing a Visa. Having the freedom to move around, to go anywhere as a tourist without borders, having collective projects, all of us. The EU gives us a sense of belonging further than our own countries, it gives us hope that peace really is possible and that borders can be open.We should teach younger generations what the EU is, how it came to be, and everything good that it provides to each and every one of us. I think most of the people that are against it or see it as a negative thing think so because they don't know what it brings to the table.We have created, together, something amazing! Let's protect it!
Cultural and national traditions are still visible but we are the one!
