The European Commission declared 1997 the European Year against Racism. A key theme which emerged from 1997 was the issue of identity and belonging. To address this issue The Runnymede Trust, in partnership with the CRE and the Citizenship Foundation, and in association with the UK Race and Europe Network, organised the conference “Citizenship and Identity: What does it mean to be British in Europe Today?”. To complement the conference, new research on the attitudes of young people in the UK towards Europe,Europeans and the European Union and identity was undertaken. In partnership with CRE, we conducted new primary research focusing on youth and Europe. This report published in March 1998, presents a “snapshot” picture of youth attitudes across the UK towards Europe and provide analysis which considers ethnicity and race as the main variable.
