Dear People,

Today I visited the European college in Bruges. It is the world's oldest institution of studies and training in European affairs. Hundreds of students from around Europe graduate here every year. But from this year on also students from out of Europe subscribed into one of the masters in European studies. I really enjoyed all these young people from in and out of Europe studying European studies and showing such an enthusiasm for the history, the today and the future of Europe..

I was very impressed by the atmosphere in the college. All those different European languages and influences mixing together. Such a diversity!

I hope to see such diversity once the whole of Europe. Polish people lunching with Portuguese, Swedish people enjoying themselves at the bar with Turkish people. Fantastic!

A Europe of diversity is the future for Europe!
