INTRODUCING
EUROPORTRAITS
Faces of European Engagement
2022 - the European Year of Youth and the year of publication of our magazine. There could hardly have been a better time for the creation of this project, because for us, Europe’s future is first and foremost its young people who help shape it. “EuroPortraits” shows you precisely this generation - the faces of committed Europeans who tell us their stories and present their projects across Europe in interviews. This magazine is all about engagement, we do not just want to show great initiatives, but also inspire and give tips on how everyone can get active themselves. The Europortraits show that our generation is one thing above all: committed. Because we are the “Generation E” - E for Europe, but also E for European commitment!
OUR INTERVIEW PARTNERS
from all over Europe
Our interview partners live all over Europe. We have tried to portray as many young people of different nationalities, genders and backgrounds as possible. Our continent and the opportunities to get involved are as diverse as our interview partners. In this magazine, you can find out how their projects differ. What they all have in common is their commitment to a better world.

OUR EXPERIENCE AS A TEAM
Working on this magazine
has made me realise that volunteering
not only means
working for the community,
but also doing something for
yourself.
Anna
The magazine has shown me
once again what a beautiful,
inspiring and at the same time
active continent we live on.
The many stories show that
you can make a big difference
even in a small way, regardless
of where you come from or
what opportunities you have.
Bosse
I was deeply moved and inspired
by the work on the
magazine, but above all by
the story of the young Europeans.
Commitment can be so
diverse and often it only takes
a little courage, patience and
luck to achieve great things.This is your Testimonial quote. Use this space to share reviews about you, your services, and your business. Get site visitors excited to work with you!
Franzi
Our project brought me to
the realisation that many
young people in Europe engage
themselves in a variety
of ways. Contrary to the
narrative of an unpolitical,
uninvolved youth, they do
want to be involved and form
our future and they are doing
so. It is very inspiring and
motivating to see that!
Jeanne
It was very interesting to
discover the most diverse
forms of commitment during
the search for interviewees. I
am happy that we can present
some of these great projects
here and hopefully inspire one
or the other to get involved
as well!
Johanna
Above all, our project showed
me what really good teamwork
looks like and what
you can achieve together as a
group. It is great to have a reliable
team in which everyone
is motivated and enthusiastic!
Julika
From the first idea to the magazine
- that was an exciting,
sometimes nerve-wracking
but also inspiring process.
With EuroPortraits, the circle
of commitment is closed,
because we as a team have
committed ourselves to being
able to tell you these stories.
Birke
You can achieve a lot, when
people get enthusiastic about
a common topic. With openness,
creativity and motivation,
a group of people that
met for the first and the only
time in person during the
four days of a project lab, can
implement a great project.
