Over the past 20 years, we’ve been living in an increasingly uncertain world, where crisis follows crisis, whether economic, environmental, health, democratic or even military. What if we dared to talk about the future and ask ourselves what our cross-border territories will look like in 2050?
Because over the decades, we have gone from a state of “faith” in Europe to a state of “doubt”, even though Europe is the solution; because at a time of major transitions, resilience must prevail over resignation; and because the everyday Europe and the feeling of belonging to Europe are played out first and foremost at its internal borders, what if we made a societal, democratic and citizen-centric “cross-border deal”?
