My definition of Cafebabel.com is: caffeine substance subtly flavoured with satisfied curiosity and inspiration. Its tastful diversity gives an impression of enjoying coffee in snappy Alps, in crowded Covent Garden, on breathtaking Vilnius rooftops, in cosy moms kitchen...

 

Europe drowned with wise coffee aroma. Is it not brilliant?

To me personally, the community of Cafebabel.com is not only a medium for online expression. Indeed, it is a perfect playground for the active mind. From a more global perspective, however, I find Cafebabel.com to be a cross border tool of transnational integration and cultural exchange in Europe.

 

Whereas Cafebabel.com is so positive and global, all the mad computer scientists should unite.

While  increasing the importance of Cafebabel.com to Europe, one should be careful. Keeping in mind the speed of technological progress, the online community read by the whole world could become extremely significant.  In that case the internet  would „dissapear“, would be great to sustain the debate one more day.

 

Technologies facilitate the moderation of the debate, whereas people from Cafebabel.com are communicating with you directly.

When Lithuania joined the EU people were saying: Lithuanians came back. However, Lithuania was always the part of the continent, where it was only never heard or seen. There is no need to say, that Cafebabel.com changes everything. To my mind, Cafebabel.com is a posibility for europeans to communicate, not for Lithuanians to try to talk to French people, or Germans.

 

Every European citizen should be equally heard here, because it is not only the online space, but the way of thinking.

If you want to keep up with the growing European life tempo, it is important to be up-to-date with the European news.  Still, why is Cafebabel.com read behind the European borders? To cover all the news in Europe is so difficult, as to serve coffee for all the builders of the tower of babel. Meanwhile, to read such news it is as easy, as to talk to them while drinking it.

 

So, the world is reading Cafebabel.com, because it is the easiest way to to become acquainted with Europeans.

Various forms of media corruption, distortion of the public sphere led by private interests, abuse of public opinion – all these things are just post-traumatic stress effects. The participation of exclusive Lithuanian language in the transcultural multilogue of European nations, - that is a perspective.

 

The rebirth of the mutual understanding is a sign, that Cafebabel.com will have nice future in Lithuania.

 

Alma Basokaitė

 

The lack of information about the European policies and the reasons lying behind them is striking all around Europe. Just see no other way to make European democratic governance work than developing European space of information exchange - effective and freely accessible to all concerned.

 

Otherwise it is a questionable whether Europian Union can be called democratic at all.
