As Germany enters a new post-Merkel era with several challenges facing EU cohesion, HagueTalks investigates the notion of a European identity. The past decade has seen several challenges to the idea of “Europe”, with uncertainty growing on whether there is more shared by Europeans than is held apart.

Are we seeing the development of a European identity? If so, in what ways can this be seen? How do this look from the outside, and do we really want this anyway?

Deputy Mayor of the Hague, Robert van Asten, will kick-off the event, opening the discussion on what it really means to be European.

This event is organised by the Municipality of The Hague and Beeld en Geluid, alongside the HagueTalks Youth Board. The HagueTalks Youth Board is a group representing young and engaged members of society. All based in the Hague, they assist in organising events to help foster growing interest in HagueTalks and ideas concerning peace and justice.
