European elections are fast approaching, and with them the same nagging fears as Eurosceptic parties and nationalist ideas go from strength to strength throughout the continent.

However, with only eight months to go until those crucial European polls, this is no time for resignation. Reinvigorate a progressist discourse, revive the European project and remobilise the forces: these are the challenges that face us between now and May 2019.

European Lab Brussels will echo the sentiments of a whole wave of citizen initiatives that have already taken up the gauntlet. Far removed from any political parties, it is activists, venues, festivals and medias such as We Are Europe who are picking up the baton, starting the countdown and launching their own mobilisation campaigns.

With Eva Rovers, Alberto Alemanno, Mick Ter Reehorst, Kyrill Hartog and Angela Richter
