Is the European Union still a common plan to be realised, is it just a hope, is it a souvenir? After Brexit we all have questions and opinions about the future of EU. Irene Vivas Laline, Citizen Journalist of LADDER project, gives a message of hope and anticipation in her article.

“Egoistical nationalism, fascism, racism are old skeletons in the cupboard of Europe that are emerging again. Even though currently we are not the best paradigm, we must remind that the European Union won the Nobel Prize for Peace and, today, this becomes the most important souvenir of the past golden days. The Union gave us the strength to see the similarities among us over the differences and tensions that have caused two of the bloodiest conflicts worldwide” writes Irene in her article, entitled “New expectations for a tired Europe – A citizen perspective”.
In these shaky times, we are proud to give voice to a young activist, who is involved and committed to actions of awareness raising on sustainability, and who strongly believes in a common European soul that belongs to all European citizens, despite the fact of being or not a EU citizen.
The Citizen Journalists’ initiative is an activity within the framework of LADDER project, gathering young citizens interested in raising their voice on topics related to DEAR – Development Education and Awareness Raising – and to the implementation of SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals. ALDA and all the consortium of LADDER project are now working to build the network of Citizen Journalists and provide them with the opportunity to express their ideas, experiences and points of view.
