Article
and so on. The vanguard of this revolution will be the
same people who were involved in the Arab Spring,
the uprisings in Burma and Iran, and the Occupy
movement in the United States, the youth of Europe.
The European Union must find the right balance
between debate and consensus on an overall vision.
That vision must permeate into all aspects of society.
Without this vision Europe cannot progress and may
actually decline. The people of Europe need a new
identity that carries both meaning and a sense of
excitement about the future.
And what must be borrowed by the European
Union, once discarded in an attempt to create a pan-
Euro culture is the “hotch potch” of cultural diversity
that exists within the member states. Uniformity does
not bring strength, diversity brings strength which has
been unrecognized. Diversity is what makes Europe
and the Commission has over the years tried to create
a Europe of the lowest common denominator (LCD).
Europe has actually been stripped of its very strength.
The answer is not in the pan-Euro approach but
engaging the diversity within the Union, something
many, if not the majority feel in their hearts. A Euroculture
should take in both national and pan-Euro
traits and slowly evolve into a single Euro-identity.
Just like the Euro-debt crisis, the Euro-cultural crisis
is the result of legislators believing that regulation
is not the solution to everything. New approaches
outside legislative frameworks are required here.
There is great risk that the metaphor of blue may
become a sea that lacks the ability to have foresight
and vision. The EU Council is fast becoming a
transactional rather than transformational identity
as it started out to be. The bureaucrats have replaced
the dreamers and philosophers setting into motion
processes that inhibit rather than rather than
encourages growth in diversity and richness.

Blue is also symbolic of authority and the EU must
be aware of the need to develop an environment where
the Commission is not seen as top down regulator but
truly concerned with what it’s citizenry thinks and
feels about issues. The citizens of the EU must be
encouraged to develop a sense of ownership in the
whole process once again.
