Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (Camil de Schutter)\nThe question of city versus country. All kinds of city-agriculture pop up\, ranging from “guerilla gardening” in the city to government initiatives as people’s gardens and community gardens.

Committee on Civil Liberties\, Justice and Home Affairs (Anne S. Tetens)\nThe question of increasing skepticism and nationalist tendencies in EU member states.\nWhat can be done to bring Europe closer to its citizens and reinvigorate commitment to a closer union?

Juras tbc)\nThe question of educating young people to become global citizens. The EU is trying to raise the quality of all levels of education e.g. in its strategy for 2020: Youth on the Move.

Committee on Environment\, Public Health and Food Safety (1)\nThe question of the protection of biodiversity\nThe EU strives to protect and restore flora and fauna by creating e.g. a network of nature reserves Natura 2000. This might entail limitations on sectors such as recreation\, agriculture\, fishing and housing\, with consequences for employment. How can these competing interests be addressed? \nhttp://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/natura2000/sites_hab/biogeog_regions/index_en.htm \nII. Committee on Environment\, Public Health and Food Safety (2)\nThe question of how to fight global warming\nGlobal warming is the increase in the Earth’s temperature as the result of greenhouse-gas emissions. As the phenomenon continues\, devastating consequences might be felt across the globe. The ocean may be one of the hardest hit of the world’s resources. How can the problem be fought? \nhttp://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2012/10/31/leave-it-to-the-global-warming-alarmists-to-make-fake-lemonade-out-of-hurricane-sandy/ \nIII Committee on Social Affairs\nThe question of youth unemployment in Europe\nEurope’s young people are suffering disproportionately in the economic crisis and might become ‘a lost generation’. How can the problem be tackled? \nhttp://www.publicserviceeurope.com/article/2804/youth-unemployment-europes-lost-generation \nIV Committee on Culture and Education\nThe question of how to educate young people to become global citizens\nThe mobility of young people is essential in promoting a sense of belonging to Europe and enhancing social and occupational integration. However\, the mobility of young people is not widespread. In what ways can mobility be increased? \nhttp://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/education_training_youth/youth/ef0008_en.htm \nV Committee on Constitutional Affairs\nThe question of how to bring the EU/Europe closer to its citizens\nIn times of crisis many European citizens seem to lose interest in the EU and focus more narrowly on national matters. In what way can this lack of interest in the development of the EU be addressed? \nhttp://ec.europa.eu/citizenship/european-year-of-citizens-2013/index_en.htm \nGallery
