ON THE ORIGIN (1/3)
Changing moral values, norms and capacities round about the millenium brought me in 2004 into touch
with the Dutch government’s notion to bring this challenge to the notice of the public through the International conference
‘Europe, a Beautiful Idea?’, organized by the NEXUS Institute
ON THE ORIGIN (2/3)
During the conference, the invitation was received to participate in the follow-up conference
‘The Sound of Europe’,
organized in 2006 by the Austrian government
ON THE ORIGIN (3/3)
Both experiences were so impressive that it
triggered the energy:
• to share European values and affairs to let see and envision the feeling, meaning and value to the idea of Europe
• to establish Feeling EUROPE Foundation
