  What could be more thrilling than to be involved in a great, media adventure? For me, creating a media like cafebabel.com is a new way to do politics, going beyond national borders. More than a commitment, Cafebabel.com has become a passion

  Contact : webmaster@cafebabel.com

  Passionate about multiculturalism and the different ways of thinking and analysing our everyday life, cafebabel.com was THE project which I wanted to get involved in and integrate in: with a young, open team who are ripping to crunch into life and play their parts not only as spectators of European life, but actors too

  Franco-German, torn between two countries, two languages, two cultures, I packed my bags for Paris to join cafebabel.com. My mission? To help develop this multicultural citizen platform which day by day brings the European dream to life and makes it a reality!

  Project Manager

  Contact : o.tataru@cafebabel.com

  Straight from Romania, half gypsy half tatar, I enjoy multicultural challenges. I am thrilled to be involved in the bold and crazy project that is cafebabel.com. I studied Political Science in Romania and travelled to Marseille for a masters degree in European Studies, and I stayed on in France. Europe is not just a statistical issue, but a complex of realities, individuals and (r)evolving mentalities. I have the solid faith we can change and consolidate this dream

  In west Germany I'm an 'Ossie', and in the east I am a 'Wessie'. In France I'm the German, but in Germany I'm the French girl. There's a bit of babelian in everyone! To write across borders and to look further than my own nose on a daily basis is what working at Cafebabel.com is really about for me

  Geographically bipolar, I’m always running between my birthplace Toulouse and Paris, my adopted town, for journalistic purposes. And because there is a world beyond these borders, I slung my rucksack on my back to go to London, Barcelona, Seville, Roma, Genoa, Venice, Trieste, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Mostar. In my role as editor, I twirl my moustache, physically and metaphorically, in the forgotten parts of Europe so that you can visit a plural, fragmented and inexorably unique world. But also so that you talk to me about it. Freely.

  Asturian by birth (in the north of Spain), even as a child I used to leave to visit the most unusual corners of the continent. My life as a student took me to Paris for one year and to Mexico for six months. Cafebabel.com makes Europe a reality for me which I can touch with my fingers each day and brought me to realise that there are still medias which engage with their time

• Jacopo Franchi

  Editor-in-chief of cafebabel.it, Italian linguistic version
  Head of 'politics' and 'sports' column

  Contact : redazione@cafebabel.com

  I was born in Fiorenzuola d'Arda (Piacenza) in 1987. I now live in the suburb of Saint-Denis in northern Paris, which is perhaps not the most romantic part of the French capital, but it provides a phenomenal perspective on a new multicultural society. My own country is going through a period of uncertainty; that's why I want cafebabel.com to be a place where young people, be they Italians or other Europeans, can take a breather from it all

  Wandering around the world in search of the perfect place on Earth - that’s my thing. In the end, however, I always return home to Warsaw with pleasure. I am a European - that’s for sure - the cuisine, language mix and openness to foreign cultures is something that I would never exchange for any 'American Dream' – even though I can’t stop myself from reading 'The Great Gatsby' over and over again. But hey, F.S. Fitzgerald ended in Paris as well, didn’t he? What a coincidence…

  Scotland, New Zealand, Nepal and back to Edinburgh: having moved round the world before I was five, I’ve always had itchy feet. I’ve just finished a degree in German and Russian (yes, Russian!), so how I ended up in Paris is anyone’s guess – not that I’m complaining! As well as helping out with the English webpage, I’m working on cafebabel.com’s autumn 2011/ spring 2012 parternship project with German TV channel ZDF: 'Europa plus'. Over the next few months I’ll be asking for your views on themes from terrorism to psychology via European borders
