Pieces of a mosaic, never identical, held together by the fabric of cultural and historical ties.
Europe’s history stretches back thousands of years, shaped by cultural exchanges, religious diasporas, wars and reconciliations, alliances and divisions. This same history has brought together 450 million people speaking 24 official languages across 27 member states.

I set out to find differences and found myself connecting the dots — that became the ‘North Star’ of my journey.
