The European Movement – France has been mobilising since 1949, across all generations, to promote a pluralist public debate on Europe. It focuses its activities on pedagogy, the organisation of the debate between citizens and the formulation of proposals to build Europe.

It brings together thousands of volunteers in more than 50 local chapters, about 20 national associations and a college of qualified personalities. Heir to the spirit of Europe’s founding fathers, the Movement is the leading civil society player in France on European issues.

The European Movement also mobilises through its youth branch, the Young Europeans – France, which has 26 local groups spread throughout the country. The European Movement – France has been recognised as an association of general interest since 22 July 2016 and is also recognised as a “complementary educational association to public education”.
