Brexit and the Urgent Need for a Plan B
Guest commentary by Daniel Guéguen - 17 Jul 2016

Everyone would benefit from this. by Daniel Guéguen

The Project
What happened during the last two weeks in Poland? What stimulated heated debates in Germany? And which topics were meanwhile disputed in France? What actually moves the people in your neighbouring country?
With our two-weekly Cosmopublic Country Reports, we provide up-to-date insights into discussions, emotions and problems of European states - an offer to all Europeans to find out more about their neighbours' views and opinions.
...what moves YOUR Country?
Cosmopublic.eu already reports from no less than 14 countries. Still, this is just the beginning! We aim to establish new teams in even more member states of the European Union.
You like the idea behind Cosmopublic.eu? You are interested in contributing? Then please get in touch with us: contact@cosmopublic.eu
More questions?
The project is financed by our own contributions as well as donations from friends and promoters. At a later stage, we also seek to apply for institutional funding.
