In Brussels, you’ll find the House of European History. Just another museum? Definitely not. It’s a space for exploration and discussion about Europe’s past. Why? Because European history isn’t one single story, but a collection of different perspectives on the past. How can we address these differing views? How do different stories become one? And how do visitors respond to the facts presented there? Constanze Itzel, Director of the House of European History, will offer a behind-the-scenes look at her work.

After having a top speaker with us last week, we’re using this week’s Tuesday for an informal community get-together to discuss one of the most important topics in life: food. So don’t forget your favourite local recipe!

Join us on Discord, our Community platform, and chat with some of the over 700 members from all corners of the continent.

Whether racist comments in social media feeds, gender-based violence in the public space, or political extremism: These are just a few examples of hatred in society. This hate is causing exclusion and fear, posing a threat to our democratic way of living. This is unacceptable. That’s why we need to act now.

In our democratic society, everyone must be able to speak their mind freely without fearing verbal or physical violence. That’s why we need to act now.

Together with Arun Mansukhani, TED-Talk Speaker and expert in trauma psychology, and Tommasso Chiamparino, policy expert at the European Commission, we want to develop concrete proposals for tackling this growing hate in Europe.

We will submit these proposals to the European Commission’s Citizen Engagement Platform. If they gather enough support, they will be considered for creating new laws to tackle societal hatred.
