European Moments is an initiative focused on exploring and shaping narratives about Europe, its identity, and its future. The platform serves as a space for dialogue, analysis, and storytelling, engaging individuals and experts from across the continent. It aims to highlight critical moments in European history and examine contemporary perspectives on unity, diversity, and shared challenges. The project places a strong emphasis on understanding the "European experience" by collecting stories from individuals of different generations and backgrounds, aiming to uncover the formative events that define their sense of Europe. Polls and interviews conducted across 28 European countries show the importance of themes like freedom of movement, peace, democracy, and the need for climate action. The initiative also identifies the aspirations of young Europeans for the EU, revealing a desire for greater inclusivity, solidarity, and effective governance. Through a combination of academic research, public opinion studies, and cultural reflections, European Moments provides a platform for a wide range of voices to address key issues like populism, the climate crisis, and the challenges to European integration. By weaving together historical context and contemporary debates, the medium seeks to foster a renewed narrative about Europe that resonates emotionally and intellectually with its citizens.
