Project Objectives

The central concept and the main message of my activities is bEU (= be EU). This means

1) Living our own identity

2) Activating our Europeanness.

Establishing a ‘bEU network’ in Hungary and in the wider neighbourhood is the main objective of the three year-long JM project.

In order to reach the general objectives set out above, with the overall aim to contribute to the strengthening of European identity and the establishment of a bEU online network in Hungary and in the wider neighbourhood, the specific objectives of the bEU Project are the following:
