After 1989, economic determinism was replaced by imitation of the West. Was that process authentically spontaneous or were eastern Europeans staging a script they did not write? Either way, imitation created a crisis of identity, the consequences of which are still unfolding. Ivan Krastev and Holly Case discussed the issue of imitation and substitution at the 30th European Meeting of Cultural Journals in Berlin, November 2019, at the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In the third episode of Knowledgeable Youth, the Ukrainian students of the Free People Educational Hub in Vienna discuss tertiary education. Due to differences in school systems between Ukraine and Austria, Ukrainian adolescents often enter university earlier than Austrian students. Their conversation focuses on the article "Bleaching Blue Collars“ by Polish scientist and researcher Agata Zysiak, drawing insights from the experiences of first-generation students under state socialism in Poland and the barriers they faced when trying to enter university. The students share their own thoughts about entering university and the difficulties and challenges they might encounter in Vienna.

The European experience has changed in biblical proportions in the past year. A major land war in Ukraine, instances of genocide, and the continued rise of anti-democratic political movements pose more than a mere challenge. On the other hand, the introduction of AI to the general public is yet not fully understood. All of these are framed by the increasing disruptions of the climate crisis. Where to, then, for Project Europe? André Wilkens returns to the pod to identify opportunities among the threats and to announce a major new project.
