As the <strong>Berlin 2026 Conference<\/strong>, the initiative <em>A Soul for Europe<\/em> invites you to a pivotal meeting at the <strong>Jean Monnet House<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event is more than just a meeting: it's a <strong>think tank<\/strong> whose conclusions will directly shape the debates at the major annual conference (BC2026) on 5 and 6 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udca1 Theme: \u00abBelonging Europe - Identity as Practice\u00bb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the face of growing alienation from institutional structures, we assert that democratic stability is based on a <strong>experience of belonging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European identity must no longer be a narrative imposed from on high, but a way of life. <strong>daily practice<\/strong> rooted in our towns and cities.
