Current Projects
Euro Babble โ Originally a satirical project, the EFF is relaunching Euro Babble as a witty journalistic platform that offers a regional perspective of European writers and journalists in one common place. Euro Babble is re-launched as the sister-publication of the established European online magazine Katoikos.eu, where its different articles are featured in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, as well as the native language of the respective authors. Through this effort Euro Babble connects readers and writers from different regions and fosters a common European identity by extending regional content to all of Europe.
The eventual goal is to gather enough support to allow Euro Babble to publish all its content in all European languages, diminishing any and all linguistic barriers.

Europe Goes to School – Myths about and prejudice against the EU are common. Itโs a bureaucratic monster that regulates everything from the curvature of cucumbers to the size of tractor seats, it has no democratic legitimation and its budget is a bottomless pit. These and other myths are frequently reiterated and reinforced. There is a multitude of “back to school” projects, where public officials, educators and/or volunteers go to schools and teach the next generation about Europe. Our project aims to create an overview of all the projects and resources available across Europe and to eventually connect these projects together for the exchange of best practices.
Report on EU-Africa Digital Development Cooperation – Following our joint event with EDDA – European Digital Development Association, we are now working on a joint-report on the state of digital development cooperation between the European Union and African Union. The report is divided into three sections:
- Part 1: Possible European efforts to improve digitalisation in Africa and EU regulation effecting Africa
- Part 2: African efforts and possible contributions to advance digitalisation in Europe
- Part 3: Challenges faced both by Africa and the EU and how to create mutual benefit and solutions through cooperation
The report will be sent to the ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐จ-๐๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐๐บ๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ญ before its start, to ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐, the Directorate General of the European Commission on International Partnership (๐๐-๐๐ป๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ, previously DG-DevCo) as well as ๐๐-๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐. Furthermore it will be distributed within our organizations, to partners as well as the private sector and interested citizens.ย
Europe Future Fringe – a joint initiative of New Europeans, Volonteurope and the EFF – European Future Forum. The Fringe is a platform for digital and physical citizen-led events that run in parallel with the EU’s official Conference on the Future of Europe. The initiative does not aim to replace the official conference, but to fill the fringe spaces it does not cover and give all citizens who want to actively have their say the chance to do so.

Citizens Take Over Europe – At a turning point for Europe, when there seems to be little to celebrate on Europe Day, we decide to take the courageous, and perhaps crazy decision, of organising Citizens Take Over Europe, a citizen participation action starting on the 9th of May, to send out a message of hope and togetherness, and to stand up for democracy.
The CTOE initiative was started by several European civil society organisations, including partners of the EFF and is being actively supported by the EFF, for example, with a launch-day event on May 9th.

Upcoming Projects
Europe CAN – a social network with a purpose, a so-called social impact network. Unlike social media platforms, we don’t collect and sell data of our users, but offer our users a service. Our users are not the commodity, they are our customers.
Europe CAN is designed to bring people and organisations together to develop projects for the benefit of society.
Past Projects
This Time I’m Voting – European Election Campaign 2019 – The European Parliament has partnered with the EFF to deliver the institutional apolitical European election campaign for the 2019 European Parliament elections. The main goal of the collaboration is to increase awareness of the elections, turnout at the elections and participation among civil society and the general public in the campaign.
Join the campaign, using our link: europeanfutureforum.eu/vote
Connecting Citizens: Building Bridges Over Troubled Waters Workshop at the European Youth Event 2018 – How would you connect Europe? – Today more than ever, Europe is in disarray and the different nations, institutions and groups of citizens act like strangers with no understanding for one another. In an interactive workshop, we will give participants free reign to address the following questions:
How can citizens from different backgrounds come together?
How to educate citizens about Europe and enable them to engage with it?
How can we educate European and national institutions about its citizenry?
Italics Magazine – an independent Italian online magazine aiming at becoming a reference for readers, professionals and foreign press interested in covering Italian issues thoroughly, appealing to diverse fields of interests and schools of thoughts. We are aware that our country is lacking a complete, in-depth, across-the-board, international and neutral source of information in English. Therefore, we realized that the World needs an โItaly inside-outโ storytelling abroad. This would allow foreign readers who do not speak Danteโs language to receive first hand information and opinion from โThe Bootโ, not necessarily and exclusively filtered by foreign sources.
