about us

European Revival is a cultural association and an international web community that aims to enhance the traditions of European peoples (including those outside Europe of European descent and those who share similar values).

We love folklore. We want all the European languages and cultures to be preserved, not only the “institutionalized” ones. We want all the peoples of Europe to be friends and collaborate for the common good. We want to intensify the bonds with related or compatible cultures and help them wherever needed. Anyway, related or not, in our opinion all the traditions and languages of the world are a heritage to be valued and saved.

We think that the current structure of the European Union is not effective in protecting and enhancing the traditions of European peoples and needs to be overcome. We think that Europe, like every place on Earth, cannot be ruled only by bureaucracy and finance, and culture has to come first. We think that even in the era of globalization European liberal democracies need the millennial traditions of the peoples who created them to be defended.

We also think that tolerance and multiculturalism, which we love, should not mean weakness and must always require reciprocity. While respecting everyone and despising any form of racism, we want Europe to keep its identity and not to be disfigured by an uncontrolled migration.

We want Europe to keep its soul and along with its identity always to defend people’s rights, work and dignity. We want the European continent to thrive, to be respected and to have a central role in the world again.

Culture and identity before bureaucracy and economy: Folklore will save the world!

Constitution of European Revival cultural association

1. Name

The name of the association is European Revival. The association is merely cultural and has no profit.

2. Aims

The aims of European Revival are:

To defend and preserve the peculiarities of all European cultures, cultures of European descent (ex. North and South American, Australian, ect.) and cultures somehow similar or related to European ones (Armenian, Georgian,etc.). Furthermore, with a spirit of solidarity, we are sensitive to the fate of all the cultures of the world threatened with extinction.
To intensify the bonds of friendship and collaboration between all European peoples; to intensify the bonds of friendship and collaboration between Europe and sister or compatible cultures throughout the world.
To create the cultural environment for overcoming the current structure of the European Union which, in our opinion, does not protect the European peoples, their identities and their cultures adequately.
To raise public awareness of security issues in Europe and the Western world; of the risks of negative birth rate and the consequent ethnic substitution underway on the European continent; of the disparities created by an unregulated economic globalization and the excessive power of finance.
To renew, modernize (and thereby strengthen) the role of classical Greek-Latin culture and of Christian tradition so that they can continue to be the pillars of Western civilization (profitably, not by an action of mere inertia) even in the third millennium.
To defend the Western values of democracy, equality and freedom with firmness and consistency. To defend all the other Enlightenment values, like the principle of self-determination of peoples.

6. Governance, officers and steering committee

In the first four years the governance of the association will be carried out by a founding Committee of three members, two of which will be officers.

The officers’ roles are as follows:

President, who is also the administrator of the website www.europeanrevival.org
Membership secretary (appointed by the president) who shall be responsible for keeping records of members.

After four years the president of European Revival will be elected by a committee of nine members and may not coincide with the website administrator. The committee of nine members will be elected by all the members of European Revival through an online election organized on the website www.europeanrevival.org.

From that moment, elections of the president and of the nine-member committee will occur each three years unless otherwise decided in the final constitution.

After the founding meeting, there will not be periodic formal meetings on a fixed basis until the election of the nine-member committee by general online voting expected in four years (anyway there could be some informal meetings). Subsequently, the deadline and the procedures for the meetings of the steering committee will be determined by the final version of the constitution of the association (see next paragraph).

7. Developments and amendments to the provisional constitution

This constitution is only a provisional basis, the final version will be drafted by the nine-member committee elected online at the end of four years of activity. That steering committee will be responsible for drafting a definitive constitution within 6 months of its election and communicating it to all members. This will take place under the supervision of the new president of the association elected by the steering committee.

8. Dissolution

The steering committe, unanimously, can decide to close down the association. In that case it must notify all members of the association at once by e-mail.

This provisional constitution was agreed at the founding Meeting of European Revival on 1st January 2021.

Meet the president

Paolo Seruis was born in Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia (Italy). He graduated in Foreign Languages and then in Political Science at the University of Cagliari. He published the novels Epos in 2010 and Signs of life in the old continent in 2017, in both of which the themes of European identity play a central role.

The fact of being born in a peripheral European region, characterized by strong cultural and linguistic peculiarities, has constantly pushed him to think about the problem of the preservation and survival of regional cultures in the era of globalization. All the more so, in a Europe increasingly characterized by a centripetal drive that seems to leave less and less political, cultural and economic space on the periphery of the continent. This concern goes hand in hand with the perplexity caused by the very rapid change in the ethnic structure of the continent, following migrations of large proportions partly suffered and partly orchestrated by those who, for one reason or another, have an interest in changing the face and soul of the European continent forever.

“Anyone who thinks that the safeguarding of millennial identities (in Europe as in every other part of the world) is not a conservative theme, a boorish defense of the past, but quite the opposite a battle of culture, justice and common sense is invited to join us. Folklore will save the world!”.
