"Europe must be supported, not endured, by its citizens."
Europe Direct Steiermark is part of the information and communication network of the European Commission. The information service was launched in 2005 and is open to all citizens of the European Union. The European project cannot be communicated from Brussels alone, and with this in mind, 400 offices have been established all across Europe. These offices act as interfaces between conceptualised European policy and the real needs and expectations of the European people. The Austrian EUROPE DIRECT network comprises ten information centres; the Styrian "EDI" is located on Landhausgasse 7 in Graz, close to the main square of the Styrian capital.
EUROPE DIRECT Steiermark sees itself as a hub that shares information, communication, and knowledge about Europe and promotes the visibility of Europe in all its various facets. It provides direct access to the EU bookshop, information on current events and EU agendas, information on EU subsidies and the funding of Europe-related school projects or school trips to Strasbourg, Luxembourg or Brussels. The services also include support in the organisation of events. EUROPE DIRECT Steiermark offers briefings, workshops, panel discussions and training both online and on-site.
