Ideas, debate and action for Europe!
Who? The European Movement in Belgium (EMiB) has aspired to a united and democratic Europe since 1949. We are a non-profit association that supports European integration by integrating as many actors and citizens as possible in the process. Our organization is therefore open to all individuals, organizations and companies that support European integration. Therefore, our members come from all professional, cultural and political backgrounds.
Why? It is essential that the public continues to recognize the relevance of the European project, since today global challenges can no longer be solved by countries separately. However, the way in which this cooperation should be exercised must be the focus of the debate. We want to actively stimulate this debate on European policies in order to raise citizens' awareness and involve them in the process of European integration.
What? The EMiB organizes different activities which all have common characteristics. The aim is always to stimulate debate on the European Union and the form always has an educational or awareness-raising aspect. Young people often play a major role. The youth committee of the EMiB (JEF Belgium) also organizes its own activities. Their activities take place mainly in the Belgian university towns of Leuven, Ghent, Brussels, Bruges, Louvain-La-Neuve and Liège.
How? All our activities are organized by a secretariat which is itself guided by a board of directors. The EMiB is also one of the 42 national councils of the European Movement International. As a non-profit organization, the EMiB depends on membership fees, private sponsors and grants from governmental institutions which are all in favor of European cooperation.
