About

Border breakdown is more than an idea, a concept or a theory.  Europeans witness borders break down regularly in their work, their leisure, at home and even in their pockets.  Every day, throughout the EU, cultures collide, populations meet and people work together.  This site  is meant to give you a little slice of what border breakdown looks like, sounds like, feels like and maybe even smells like where it is happening — the towns, capitals and regions of Europe.  If you know of something that belongs on these pages, send an email and help me tell the story of the EU.
