The passion of a Generation to build a stronger Europe.  European Generation is a students’ society founded by students of Bocconi University in 2013.
E.G. is directed to all Bocconi students and in particular those born in the 1990s who inherited the Union born with the Maastricht treaty. Our objective is therefore to understand the Union’s structures, rules but most of all to recollect the great ideals which generated the project of European unification.
In the present crisis of state sovereignty, the entire body politic lacks coordination and vision of the future, resulting in the political havoc we have witnessed in the past years. Now more than ever we need to reopen the discussion on the European Union’s foundations and question the widespread notion that it has lost its propulsive power. Today’s political leaders, absorbed in issues of national relevance, are heedless to the necessity of further integration in the Union and often describe it as an obstacle to economic development rather than an extraordinary opportunity of success. We have in the past organised lectures and conferences in our university with the help of professors and guest lecturers. The themes treated were many, ranging from the European social system to the consequences of the crisis on future integration and the problem of sovereignty in Europe. We want to organise similar events for all the length of the academic year to encourage the knowledge and discussion of European issues amongst students. Our meetings will focus on these topics and many more, as we wil organise the mas debite open to questions and opinions of the public such as to stimulate each participant to express his opinions freely.
