Nyt Europa (New Europe) is a Copenhagen-based non-profit organisation working to advance a sustainable and democratic Europe. The organisation believes that the European Union can and should play a central role in securing a sustainable world, and it is committed to steering the European community in a greener, more inclusive, and more democratic direction.
Founded in 1997 by then–Member of the Danish Parliament Steen Gade, Nyt Europa has more than 25 years of experience in European affairs and organisation.
Organisationally, Nyt Europa is structured as a member-based association with a working secretariat, a volunteer board, and a volunteer council that guide its change-making efforts.
Anyone—Danish or not—who shares the organisation’s foundational values can become a member. Members are not required to agree on every issue, and Nyt Europa actively encourages both internal and external debate, provided it is constructive and contributes to greater awareness and knowledge of cross-border issues.
