Europe and You

Project Description

As part of the EU’s bid to bridge the communication divide with European citizens, the European Commission has published, since 2006, its annual ‘Europe and You’ report which provides a snapshot of the Union’s activities and how these make a difference to people’s lives.

The ESN group helped the Commission’s Communication DG produce booklet and website. The booklet has a print run of some 600 000 copies in the all EU’s official languages, except for Gaelic.

In my view, this little book is a perfect example of what communication about Europe and aimed at its citizens should be: the objective is to provide clear and concrete information about what the European Union is doing for them on a day-to-day basis.

The multimedia book Europe and you in 2008, published by the European Commission, is an excellent contribution to our common goal of broadening and deepening dialogue and debate on the European Union in civil society as a whole.

I am sure that the Commission’s brochure as well as the dedicated website will be an asset in our communication efforts.

This visually powerful cover expresses the strong link between the EU and ordinary citizens, adults and children, women and men, all of whom stand at the forefront of the picture.
