The urgency to act

We believe that the culture and identity that stem from civil society in Europe is perhaps the continent’s most precious resource. Yet, up until now, it has largely gone untapped.

The diversity within civil society reflects that of the continent. One with its battles for the environment, equality, social progress, justice and the other with its different languages, cultures, ethnicities and history.

History has brought us to a meeting, where the goals and values of one directly meet those of the other and where politicians are at last waking up to the possibilities and importance of civil society, thrusting those once regarded as marginal activists into the mainstream.

Civil society rocks

By uniting and confronting the plethora of inspiring stories that need to be told, in addition to showing a wider picture of the whole, we are not only creating the fabric of an incredibly stimulating European civil society, but also recapturing the European idealist dream that seems to have disappeared from popular discourse of late.

Our aim is for Vita Europe to become a meeting point for this multicoloured European civil society and to act as a testament to its own force as well as to that of the continent in which it is.

Vita Europe - we give voice to European civil society.
