Debates Euro Identity
Strasbourg 12 March, 2013 - What are roots of European identity? What does European identity mean today and how is it related to European integration? How can the Council of Europe help foster positive European identities?
Karsten ALNAES, Norwegian historian, author of ‘The History of Europe’ will inaugurate a new series of Debates on European Identity on Tuesday 12 March 2013, 2.15 pm, in the Palais de l’Europe, Room 2. Karsten Alnaes will be speaking about ‘Roots of European identity – challenges and threats’.
By inviting eminent personalities from politics, civil society and academia, the Debates on European Identity will examine current thinking and dynamics behind the concept of European identity and explore how such ideas can help stimulate European integration.
Organised by the Council of Europe and L’Ecole Nationale d’Administration (ENA), the Debates on European Identity will also provide a conceptual basis to explore the ways in which the Council of Europe and ENA can contribute to building constructive European identities and to promoting integration through their activities.
