Your role towards a Personal EU era

Sun, 06 May 2007 08:07:06 +0200

Every member of every Living Lab has 4 essential roles in developing the European future:

1) Role as professional expert of something
2) Role as individual: an unique base unit of life and challenges
3) Role as private person with national citizenship and point of view
4) Role as citizen of the future European union.

I'd like to participate every EU-wide event to tell this and to try make every project itself to a good example towards a "Personal EU era". Unfortunately I don't have resources to do that. You who know the Personal EU initiative and like it: Your next presentation or comment in your next EU collaboration event could be essential support for new and better practices.

You are the key to a human-faced European union

Citizen-centricity is popular in today's European eloquence. The commission speaks about it. The parliament speaks about it. Seminar and conference themes and summarys speak about it. Proposals and projects speak about it. Headlines of regional, national and union-wide information society programmes speak about it.

But what has every time until now happened to it when it's time to make the speaches come true? The paragraphs and hierarchic organizations somehow just roll over the human-faced ideas: speaking as humans in decision making suddenly isn't fashion any more.

About orchestrating a Personal EU era

I wish I could be in the Living Labs workshop today. Just to see from your faces that you all are live persons, unique Living Labs.

In speaking about Living Labs I hope we don't forget, that we ourselves as citizensand professionals are the base unit of EU's success.

Naturally we have to work wonders, but nobody else will do it for us personnally.

That's why all 500 000 000 EU citizens have (the pleasure) to be essential on union level.
