Europe's Stories Project

Between Brexit, populism, Eurozone tensions and divided European reactions to Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, many wonder if Europe has lost the plot. Some argue that, aside from actual policies, there is a burning need for a new narrative for the European project. This research project of the Dahrendorf Programme explores questions about the future of Europe in two parts: Europe from Within and Europe in a Changing World. We are working with polling groups such as the eupinions project. Our innovative website – europeanmoments.com – contains fascinating findings from our four rounds of EU-wide public opinion polling, as well as interviews with nearly 200 Europeans on their formative, best and worst European moments, including in-depth interviews with leading European experts and thought leaders. You can also listen to podcasts created in the context of the Europe's Stories project.
