(Portugal)
I have a background in European Studies and am currently doing an MA in Anthropology. I am based in Lisbon. My main interests are: keeping up with the current European issues, the environment and cultural and biological anthropology.
Why I joined FutureLab Europe? Because I thought that it would be an incredibly valuable experience to exchange opinions with people from different cultures and backgrounds, as well as top policy makers!
Why do I think that Europe needs active citizens? I believe Europe needs active citizens because now more than ever it is crucial to be aware of what is happening around us, that is the only way we can avoid greater struggles and plan a better future for Europe and its citizens!
