The EU responded as soon as the pandemic struck, doing whatever it took to assist those in need – both within and beyond our borders – and to support scientific research and innovation to protect us against the virus in the future. With a €750 billion recovery package, NextGenerationEU will help European citizens, Member States and partner countries emerge from the crisis stronger and more resilient for a greener, more sustainable and more digital future.
However, this recovery could not happen without the courage and ingenuity of EU citizens. The European Commission has therefore started a programme to showcase stories of individuals and groups that are fundamental to ensuring Europe meets the demands of a post-covid world.
From Italian farmers to Croatian teachers to German small business owners, with a little help from EU funding they have been able to weather the storm and can now give back to their communities – building a stronger, brighter future for the EU.
