Generation 89

“Generation ’89” brings together 140 young people from the Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, Belgium, the UK, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary to share both their experiences and their expectations for the future.

 
They have one thing in common: they were born in 1989. They made their first steps in 1990. Now, they have the opportunity to express and share their ideas about their future as European citizens.

In April 2010 they met in Warsaw, Bucharest, Brussels and Prague. They had the chance to speak about what happened in their countries in the past (as told by their parents or older relatives or read in books), and their expectations as European citizens.  Together they drafted the Generation 89 declaration.

This EUNIC project reflects on the fall of the communist systems in Europe, through the lens of people born in 1989. It is managed by the cluster in Prague and is supported by the European Commission’s ”Citizenship  2007-13”  programme.
