Another experience with great people in the EU institutions who want to make a real contribution to the lives of all European citizens. Researchers and communicators who want to know what is going on with people and their living and working conditions.

„The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) is a tripartite European Union agency providing knowledge to support the development of better social, employment, and work-related policies.

It works in partnership with governments, employers, trade unions, and the European Union institutions.

Eurofound employs 100 staff in its offices in Dublin, Ireland, and Brussels, Belgium“.

In my opinion, they should add a fourth sector to include environmental and food NGOs. Anyway, the people I met there seemed compassionate and intelligent overall, and we can only hope that politicians listen to them.

Especially in these days of propaganda and extreme lobbying, we need to value our institutions and infuse them with our values and active participation – again and again.
