About

With Portraits of Europe, I am conducting a survey about young adults who, in different parts of Europe, have launched initiatives with a social, educational or cultural impact on their local environment. I suggest to call them bridges-builders since they contribute to the establishment of communication between people, sometimes living near each other but separated by social and cultural gaps. 

My goal is to promote a different image of Europe, which is often associated today with distant institutions or moribund economies. Collecting the stories of great human paths  and inspiring projects, I am expecting to discover and to share with you a continent rich of its differences and its common values. 

How can we learn to cooperate? I will be focusing on this question while traveling in Europe. More: Considering cooperation in Europe
