Europe is the n:o 1 tourist destination: 60% of all tourism in the world. A big part of this travelling consists of trips inside the EU.
What a wonderful way to create your own “Personal EU” network!
In big and even smaller European tourist places you could at once meet individuals from all EU countries – if just someone would introduce them to you. How about an easy way to do it? A “Personal EU Meetpoint” in every significant international EU city! 
For that only 25 paving stones in a circle is needed, with an EU country name on each of them.
The Personal EU Meetpoint system would be quickly well-known everywhere.
You can easily imagine situations, where people go to their own country plates and find other people standing on their own plates. What happens then? Maybe just a friendly laugh. Maybe changing visiting cards. Maybe an unforgettable common while in the nearest pub or sunny corner café. Maybe a lifelong union-wide internet team…
We could have millions of such teams. Just between individuals from 4-5 countries. Or up to full EU25 teams. We need this kind of personal “enlargement” to meet the challenges of the third millennium. Our home countries need such citisens to succeed in international circles. And our common European union needs such a team spirit to guarantee a happy life for us all.
How about an union wide Personal EU Meetpoint contest between all our cities? 
I think everyone would win in that competition.
Successful Cooperation!

PS. If You haven’t seen my original “Personal EU” vision, this is the right moment.
As an EU citizen you could easily build an own union-wide individual team – just like ministers and commissars do: someone like you from as many countries as you like.
The life is getting more and more international and challenging and such a team could give a new very natural lifelong learning perspective for everything. Studying different languages togehter. Finding new solutions to old problems from eachothers’ countries. Comparing prices and buying things together. Voting. Selling together. Making initiatives to the union…
Count now: how many countries do you already have in your personal union? Why not introduce them to eachothers, too? And if you’d like to help in developing better union-wide team tools to manage such personal teams, go f.ex.to the Commission’s “New Working Environments” site, read the newest visions and if you find something very interesting, join it.
I promise with all my personal resources to go on developing the “Personal EU” concept to become an individual-centric union-wide team system – free for all of us to join and use for our own and common national and European profit.
The “Personal EU” initiative will have its first union-wide presentations during the AMI@Work family Communities of Creation strategy workshop, taking place in Brussels 4-5 February – and I’ll be there, avéc.
Do I get your support?
Successful Cooperation!

PS. If You haven’t seen my original “Personal EU” vision, this is the right moment.
This is more a question than an answer. But I try to explain how I feel my personal head makes its best ideas come true:
VISION TO VICTORY
When a new idea drops into my mind, I try to spend a few moments questioning what it really wants to be and why. When I see good goals in it I ask for whom (else than me) it could be important, because I realise that the road to success will be wide enough to make me succeed, too.
TECHNICAL, ECONOMICAL AND SOCIAL VIEW
To work fine the outcome has to fulfil human wishes and nature’s challenges, but in most cases an inovative technical solution is the only way to make it happen. And it costs someone’s money. That’s why I’ve told myself to remember those 3 views on every new step of te process.
CONNECTING AND COLLECTING PEOPLE
In real life like this you have to exhale and inhale – not only fresh air for your brain but people to make the process go on and experience the satisfaction. And even if I would build something just for myself, other individuals are essential additions to my rerources. By “exhaling people” I mean making lists of individuals who now or later should belong to the process – and sending motivating messages to them. “Inhaling people” is getting them join the process so that they see it as an important part of their own developments.
MEANING AND CHRYSTALLISING
The first phases of the process are work to widen views and know everything (and even more) about the final solution. Then (before your head blows up) you have to start a single-minded purposeful chrystallising for making the dreams of yourself and all those people come true.
When (not if) all this does succeed, I spend a happy minute – and then suddenly again feel some new stupid idea knocking on my head. That’s life and I love it!

The human brain is a whole world with excellent connections between its “countries” and “continents”.
The European union is a small world, too. Common borders, common laws, common money, common interests.
As a citizen of the European union AND your home country you and your brain could utilise the fact, that you have common union-wide rights and opportunities. You don’t need to find them out alone. You can choose smart people like you from all union countries if you like – and run an own advanced European union.
Our network era makes it easier and more pleasant than ever. That’s the way to make your world bigger and work better than ever before. Think about it.

Using one’s own language is quick and exact. My mother language happens to be Finnish. That’s why this English “Personal EU” blog is much shorter and more less detailed than the Finnish one. That’s why you allways should read it – instead of this.
But if you are not very good in Finnish or will be internationally minded, you have to be satisfied with the English description – or wait for your native language “Personal EU” presentation, which may take time and maybe result a bad translation from an ugly English text.
It’s a pity if only people speaking a common language have an ability to communicate with eachothers in a common team. We all know that small children can do it – but how about us others?
One of the great ideas in the “Personal EU” concept is that the network team software is so good, that it can override language gaps and barriers by simply and immediately showing any text in the readers own language. Then all team members could concentrate in communicating with eachothers without stupid and unnecessary language problems.
If you have such an “understandabliser”, please bring it to the “Personal EU” circles. Otherwise we until that just have to learn from failures and use a mixture of common languages, common words, common pictures… Common signals.
And even when we finally find the common language we have to remember that words, pictures and voices do not mean anything – they just transport meanings.
See what I mean?

As a citizen of your country AND the European union it is very natural, that you would have an own personal union-wide team. Of course it is important to create a good portal and software for millions of such teams. But even more essential it is to personnally realise the inner character of such teams.
A Personal EU Team is a “lengthening”, expansion, extension, enlargening of your personal traces, capabilities in “hobbying”, developing and working. Your most essential things in those areas should be the most important subjects of your team, too. That’s how you’ll get the maximum out of the continuing team life. When every other member of your team represents his/her own EU country and culture, the combination and wholeness of that “Personal EU” will be even a larger idea than just the sum of its parts – because the human creativity works wonders from the team’s “related components”.
So, the best thing you can do to prepare yourself for your Personal EU Team is to make three top ten lists: your hobbies, your developments, your works. Those lists could consist of 2 columns: the top ten of today/until now and the top ten of your future (as well as you can imagine it).
When you start to collect your Personal EU Team and feed that information with your personal data into the search/find engine, those lists will help the system to present the ideal team for you.
This is how simple it should be.
Europe and its 500 million unique individuals need new natural ways to become “the world’s most advanced information society”. As a network of Personal EU Networks we all can fully utilise our personal resources for the benefit of our personal national neighbourhood AND a happy growth of the common international union.
Successfull Cooperation!
