Subtitle: Report of the State of Europe Forum held in Athens, Greece on May 8th & 9th, 2014
The main topics touched upon in this report are: • Turning crisis into opportunity • From Athens to Brussels - how democratic is Europe? • Towards a just, sustainable and relational economics • Migration - whose responsibility? • Solidarity, Patriotism or Nationalism? The 2014 event sought to address issues related to these crises, particularly as experienced in southern Europe and specifically in Greece. Widespread distress has been resulting from individual and corporate national debt, youth unemployment and dwindling resources for health care and housing, which in turn threatens social and political stability. Other European nations have been facing parallel challenges. Lack of solidarity in the European Union has been undermining her capacity to respond adequately to the the worldwide crises.
