Steps 4 Europe

steps for europe (s4e) is a non-profit civic start-up, under belgian law (vzw), that has been created to reinforce the public european sphere and promote the values of the eu. the absence of a real common european sphere is a huge obstacle for integration and cohesion. at the eu level, the identity component common in most european countries is not very strong. a vibrant european sphere is needed to challenge the myths that surround the european union by presenting stories that answer citizens’ concerns. our mission is to foster understanding, transparency and participation of citizens in eu policy and decision making. to inspire and help them to understand and influence major policy decisions. to sustain the european unification idea and promote europe as a continent of values. s4e welcomes all sides of a debate to defend their points of view, always based on the values that are included in article 2 of the treaty of the european union.
