The EU is a huge actor on the global scene. IPC and the ‘We are Europe’ initiative (in Danish: Vi Vil Europa) have invited prominent speakers to give their perspective on the future of the European Union.

The speakers present their view in a panel debate. Afterwards we make smaller debate groups for dialogue between IPC students and speakers.

Questions like ‘What issues should be discussed on European level? How do we see the EU as a global actor? What issues should be decided on a local level?

Decisions taken on EU level have immense impact in our everyday life. Because of that, we need to address what EU we want in the future.
