EUnite

#EUnite was born as a collective effort of 30+ Hubs to celebrate Unity in Diversity on the annual Europe Day in May 2020 despite the upheaval posed by the COVID-19 pandemic that had challenged all EU Member States individually and as a block. In this trying historic moment, young people of Europe craved more than ever to connect in a meaningful way to uphold the values of cohesion and solidarity above national divides. 


Within the project, over 120 Shapers have created contents for a social media campaign, developed educational materials for high schools, and organized a number of digital events spanning interviews, contests, artistic performances and social gatherings. 


In 2021, the Sofia Hub of the Global Shapers Community supported the EUnite initiative by running a campaign across all hub social media channels dubbed "Shapers on Adventures". The purpose of the campaign was to showcase shapers in our most funny, loving, authentic moments all while roaming the streets of Europe and hopefully bring a bit of inspiration and food for thought as to the rights and responsibilities we have as European citizens, the meaning of sharing a European identity and the privileges we enjoy as youth of Europe, all in the context of the celebrations for Europe Day.
