Welcome!

This blog is created by a group of people, AIESEC members from Greece, as part of a wider learning environment that the Local Committee of AIESEC in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki strives to provide to its members, interns, university, far and near community.

For more than10 years Europe has been in an intense integration process. Europe’s role, future and identity is lately being questioned. So, what does Europe mean for us? Do we really feel European citizens? In order to understand ourselves and others better as citizens, we need to understand our history, culture, norms and values (social), politics, economy and legal rights and responsibilities.

AIESEC is activating youth citizenship and leadership in different areas at European and global level. European citizenship is one of the issues we want to create awareness about, to educate and to engage young people. We want to create a space where young people can create a common understanding around EU matters and explore upon the future of European Union. We need leaders to shape and ensure Europe’s future in the context of the globalisation in a positive way and engaging youth in this process can be the foundation for a truly European community.

So, the objectives of EUnity Project are

~To create awareness and to educate young people about the realities of the European Union with focus on the integration processes from political, economical and cultural point of view;
~To empower and build the needed attitude for an European citizen by engaging youth in discussions around these issue;
~To promote cultural diversity and cultural understandingthrough direct exposure of young people to multicultural realities within European Union.
