Groups first approaches to the project

Some keywords about this morning’s groups first presentation: here is the list of the teams and their subjects, plus the teachers comments.

FAB
What is Europe for someone who doesn’t travel?
How do we, as European, get the consciousness that Europe has become a new territory?
How to communicate the presence of Europe within each country?

JAKE
From the political and geographical point of view, do we actually think that Europe exist?
What identity is possible within a larger group?

MAYA
Europe = symbol/ puzzle/ economical practice, but the boundaries still exist.
Is there anyway to make we feel that we are in Europe? Something else than national.
A place we meet (interactive).
Brand and politics go faster than citizens.
We need to take time to become European.

AUDE
Communication. What we share: music, gesture.
Children play with eachother. Best communication.
Graffiti (in Brussel for instance they are very popular). Screen everybody can draw.

PAZ
Personal scales. How people move in the city and use symbols and signs that exists.
Creating meeting place. Giving direction in the city toward meeting point. Mixing culture.

SHEME
Focus on process. Build a communication tool to diffuse ideas that enhance European identity.
European Union as a brand (logo, product).

CARA
Think of space as the ultimate communication tool.
The street exists only if people live there.
Confession box on the street that says “come and discuss here”.
Agorà. Relationship more than connecting people.

KATE
What makes a public space a social space?
What is a social space, especially in Brussels, and in Europe ?
What can unify Europe by a better social approach?

NOA
On comprend rien à ce qu’on dit et pourtant on arrive a se comprendre.
Pas de mot mais on peut se comprendre juste par la perception de l’autre.
Je suis capacle d’exprimer a qqn que je veux ou pas un cafe sans parler. Par son comportement.
Let’s experiment langage without word.
À checker, avec les meufs.

LOUISE
Being an European citizen and not a tourist in other European countries.
Live in a city, different from visiting a city.
