Your Statements to Europe - WOW!

As you know, pics4peace did a huge event at the U&D Festival 2019 on the topic "Togetherness in Europe? "Togetherness in Europe!". It was a cooperation between the U&D, the SJR and us. The results are convincing, thanks to your contributions!  A lot of statements were left for us and all interested people from society and politics by festival participants. Some are signed by name, others, especially those that came in via the social media action 0.1, mostly not. This was not requested. Have a read. Exciting!

that life is too good
to be perfect.
