Tell me about Europe is delivered by the Goethe Institute during the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Over recent months citizens of twelve cities have taken part in discussions about the constitution of Europe, and its past, present and future. The discussions are based on interviews with well-known Europeans, which are collected in the European Archive of Voices. In these interviews, those who were born before 1945, tell young people about their lives and touch on topics such as wars and conflicts, the gap between town and country, gender (in)justice, freedom of religion or the return of nationalism.
