Alexandra Cogels

Alexandra (17) participated at the “My Europe” workshop in Brussels in February 2015 and impressed the jury of the writing contest with her innovative story. She is a student of the Collège Saint-Michel in Brussels. The young European is very creative and therefore she does not want a job in the future where her thoughts and creativity will be restrained. Rather she is eager to find a profession that stimulates her and fuels her curiousity.

In her free time Alexandra likes reading, playing football and tennis. She loves to travel and get to know new people.

For me, Europe is…

“Europe’s history, its vast cultural diversity and its ongoing activity makes it a remarkably exciting continent to live in. But also, Europe is a place where I feel safe. A place that makes me believe in democracy and education.”
