The Citizens' Coalition

The aim of “A Soul for Europe” is to implement concrete steps and conduct projects to ensure that Europe makes greater and better use of its cultural assets.

Strategy Group

At the very heart of the Initiative "A Soul for Europe" there are 55 young outstanding individuals from 21 countries from both inside and outside the European Union. They are working as civil society actors in culture, politics, research and media, at universities or in the business sector.

Advisory Board

The high-ranking Advisory Board chaired by Jerzy Buzek, former President of the European Parliament, supports the Initiative.

Advisory Board Parliamentarian Working Group

The Advisory Board Parliamentarian Working Group is the successor of the ASfE informal intergroup and feeds into the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board Working Group, which meets four times a year in Brussels, is the initiative's link to political decision makers.

Offices

The organisational back-up for the initiative’s projects are four offices in Europe hosted by international organisations: Felix Meritis Foundation in Amsterdam, Stiftung Zukunft Berlin, the European House for Culture in Brussels and Setepés in Porto.
