Euregional Forum. Towards a Euregion without borders

The Euregional Forum (EF) is organising a tour of debates in the Euregion Meuse-Rhine. The Forum will tour Heerlen, Genk, Liège, Aachen, Eupen and Maastricht. According to the EF, people from the Euregion have more in common than what divides them, in a cultural, linguistic, material, political or national sense. The Euregional Forum answers Euregio sceptics loud and clear: the Euregio is a reality which can be beneficial to everyone. more info
