EUnic (= European Union National Institutes for Culture) is a nice, PC and harmless organization.

I respectfully disagree on the grounds that there is nothing harmless about a PC organization.

“I respectfully disagree on the grounds that there is nothing harmless about a PC organization.”

- Good point. In general they do a lot of harm, but what I had in mind in this case is that there are many PC organizations who do little else than produce tons of sweet sounding drivel that has very little impact on the world outside their own little tribe.

In the case of EUnic, most Europeans, whether they are Socialists, Liberal or Conservative, agree cultural exchange between our nations is a good thing, but I think a lot of us doubt that granting a yearly €2.2 billion to yet another superfluous organization is the best way of making Europeans discover the cultures of the other European countries.

These €2.2 would probably do a a lot more of good for European integration if any EU citizen could apply for a free plane or rail ticket to any destination within the EU and then you’d have a computer program simply run a lottery.
