Submitted by dfabbri on

Forum (Sept. 2018)  Einheit der Vielfalt. Das ist der Leitspruch der Europäischen Union. Die unterschiedlichen Sprachen, Lebensweisen und Traditionen sollen unter dem Dach „Europa“ zusammengeführt werden. Andere Länder werden zu Nachbarn ohne Gartenzäune. Die Offenheit fördert den Austausch, nicht nur von kulturellen Lebensweisen, sondern auch von wirtschaftlichen Gütern. Jedes Land ist mit jedem vernetzt. Das stärkt den Zusammenhalt und sorgt am Ende für ein friedliches Neben- und Miteinander sowie für die Freizügigkeit der europäischen Bürger und Bürgerinnen.
