Franck Biancheri
1961-2012

Franck Biancheri

Political thinker acting for Europe in the service of its citizens.
Without him yesterday, no Erasmus today.

« Antidemocratic and xenophobic forces of Europe have always been attracted by the European unity dream, the mystic of the imperial Rome»
(FB - 1998)
" Being a citizen is a voluntary act "
(FB - 2009)
"Thinking about the future only makes sense if it is aimed at improving one’s thinking about the present and about the trends at work"
(FB - 1998)
"The European project is not a dream, but a hope. It is rooted in rationality, which is not the case with dreams. We Europeans have seen our dreams end in nightmares too often not to be suspicious."
(FB - 2005)
"The strength of a network is judged at the information level of the weakest link, or more precisely the link furthest from the centre of the network."
(FB - 2004)
"Europe's destiny is escaping the two "Greats" and it will come knocking on the door of the Europeans."
(FB - 1989)
"The history of Europe is a bit like a multifaceted diamond. Everyone sees the same diamond... but no one sees exactly the same facets."
(FB - E-storia project, 2004)
"Let us dare the future as the founding fathers of Europe did"
(FB - "From EU to Euroland", 2001)
"The European citizenship can not be decreed. The European citizen can only be born..."
(FB - 1992)
"Every state is a minority in the EU. In any case, let’s not forget that if all our states went into building the EU it is because they all felt too small to face alone both their future and the rest of the world."
(FB - 2003)
"From a single (EU) Currency to a single (EU) Citizenship. The euro is only an instrument."
(FB - 1997)
"An empire is always providing platforms where conflicts and wars prolife­rate... an empire needs enemies, whilst a Community requires partners."
(FB - 1992)
"Europe’s history has taught us that dreams and nightmares are the two faces of the same coin"
(FB - “Europe is Peace” 2006)
"Everybody wants to have a successful enlargement whereas it is a successful enlarged EU which is important."
(FB - 2002)
"It is clear that the existing national political parties can not serve two masters: national and European."
(FB - IDE, 1989)
"It takes teamwork to make Europe move forward."
(FB - 2005)
"There is nothing like one European. The European is a team of Europeans... the only way we can imagine a European, it is a team of people from different countries, not a single man or woman."
(FB - Enschede (NL) 2012)
"On the horizon with a heaven of freedom and a land of responsibility, this is perhaps the soul of Europe."
(FB - 1992)
"The future challenge for the European project is not about Europe anymore, it is about the Europeans."
(FB - 2005)
"The more Brussels speaks English, the less Brussels understands the Europeans"
(FB - 2004)
"Occupy the Future of Europe!"
("What do YOU want as a future for AEGEE?" Franck Biancheri at the 2012 Agora in Enschede)
"To combine new technologies and democratic principles to succeed in the entry of European integration in the 21st century or e-democracy at the service of Euro-democracy"
(FB - EUSV, 2001)
"In the years 00 of the 21st century, democratization can only take place in the perspective of the democratic election of a European executive that remains to be invented."
(FB - EUSV, 2001)
"We must build the European Community, otherwise Europe will soon be culturally Americanised, politically Finlandised and technologically Japanised"

AEGEE-Cluj Napoca wins the Franck Biancheri Award 2016 !AEGEE-Cluj Napoca remporte le Franck Biancheri Award 2016 !

/ Franck Biancheri Year / By

To help keep Franck Biancheri’s work alive, AEGEE and AAFB (Association des Amis de Franck Biancheri) have jointly created the FRANCK BIANCHERI YEAR award, in which one AEGEE antenna organizes events related to the legacy of Franck Biancheri during the whole year. Each year we call all AEGEE antennas to hand in proposals and AAFB gives financial and educational support to the best project.

In 2016, the name changes from « Franck Biancheri Year » to « Franck Biancheri Award » showing how much the AAFB’s deep desire to launch a sustainable project in close relation with AEGEE and to keep working on the democratization of European decision-making processes (as advocated by Franck) remains unchanged.

The open call for applications, launched to all AEGEE antennae, has seen the emergence of many great projects that have led to interesting discussions between the members of the Selection Committee to determine the winner...

After AEGEE-Delft and AEGEE-Paris, it’s time for AEGEE Cluj-Napoca to honor the memory of Franck Biancheri and to receive a financial (2500€) and educational support in 2016.

This year, the winner has decided to focus most of its efforts on a big event organized in the spring 2016 and dealing with the following general themes: Social, Political and Economic Europe (complete programme and speakers to come soon).

Afin de continuer à faire vivre le travail de Franck Biancheri, l’AEGEE (Association des Etats généraux des Etudiants de l’Europe) et l’AAFB (Association des amis de Franck Biancheri) ont créé en 2014 le prix « Franck Biancheri Year », qui engage une antenne locale d’AEGEE à mettre ses activités sous le signe de l’héritage conceptuel de Franck Biancheri pendant une année, en contrepartie d’un support financier et éducationnel.

Si en 2016 le nom évolue de « Franck Biancheri Year » à « Franck Biancheri Award », la volonté de l’AAFB de lancer des projets durables en collaboration avec AEGEE, et de poursuivre ses travaux sur la démocratisation des processus de décisions européens demeure inchangée !

Ainsi, l’appel à candidatures pour la session 2016, ouvert à l’ensemble des antennes d’AEGEE, a vu émerger de très beaux projets qui ont donné lieu à de longues discussions entre les membres du Comité de Sélection pour parvenir à déterminer le lauréat….

Après AEGEE-Delft et AEGEE-Paris, l’AAFB est heureuse de vous annoncer que c’est au tour d’AEGEE Cluj-Napoca d’honorer la mémoire de Franck Biancheri et de recevoir le soutien financier (2500€) et éducationnel de l’AAFB en 2016 !

Cette « Franck Biancheri Award » se concrétisera sous la forme d’un évènement d’envergure organisé au printemps 2016 par l’antenne d’AEGEE Cluj-Napoca, qui portera une réflexion sur les thèmes de l’Europe Sociale, Politique et Économique (programme complet et intervenants seront confirmés dans les semaines à venir).
