It is important to have your own cultural identity, to feel that you belong to a group, and to share things that you have in common with that group.
- What is particularly important to you in terms of your identity? Language, music, humor, or food?
- How would you introduce yourself if you wanted to make it clear to someone that you feel as a European, a citizen of a nation, and a resident of a region all at the same time?
- Would you like to know about the customs and festivals that exist in Europe? Then check out this website: https://folklore-europaea.org/ (in German only). There, you can learn more about Europe’s diversity by country and season.
- What do you think about initiatives such as establishing a European television channel with AI translations into all languages in order to raise awareness of and strengthen the EU motto “United in Diversity” among all EU citizens?
Can you think of any other identity-forming institutions, objects or facilities that could promote unity in diversity among EU citizens?
