Keep an Open Mind

Heather Grabbe presents survey findings showing the wide range of values European have in common | Soundous Boualam talks to James and Tom about confronting prejudice and giving the European Union more of a human face

Heather Grabbe of the Open Society European Policy Institute says nationalist populists are closing the minds of Europeans to the values they have in common. She presents survey findings that could embolden centrists and moderates to drop their wishy-washy approach and confront creeping authoritarianism more directly. Look for the full set of reports here on Feb. 19. Soundous Boualam, a Moroccan working at the European Parliament, talks about dealing with prejudice, curbing stereotypes, and her project to give the unloved EU more of a human face.
