The European Values Network 2008, which is a programme addressing most urgent policy issues, which runs under the patronage of the President of the European Parliament.

The aim of the EVN is to create a lively network of active European citizens who want to engage in searching for and formulating alternative solutions to make Europe freer, safer, stronger and more prosperous.

The EVN operates through working-groups of young experts, workshop-meetings in Brussels, e-communication and final conference in Prague. The outcome of the EVN is a publication of policy-papers.
