Published quarterly, Are We Europe is a thematic magazine about what it means to be European, written and illustrated by contributors from across the continent.
What grabbed us about this issue...
Issue 08 takes the climate crisis as its focus, looking at what's already being done rather than the scale of what's at stake. The sinking village piece grounds this well. It puts a face to the kind of loss that climate statistics tend to flatten. The feature on the carbon footprint of the Internet is also worth a look. It's a less obvious angle and the sort of lateral thinking this magazine does well.
Who's Are We Europe for?
Are We Europe is one for when you want to understand the continent through its people rather than its politics. Each issue takes a single theme as its starting point, using it as a lens rather than a subject. You can tell this is made by people genuinely frustrated with the way European stories usually get told. The writing is lively and personal, contributed by writers and illustrators based across the continent. This would suit you if you enjoy long-form journalism with a strong point of view. Think of it as an alternative European press, shaped by the generation living through the story. It's one to reach for when you want to be surprised by something closer to home than you expected.
