Lingua Natolina

While the upcoming issue of Lingua Natolina is underway and shall see the light in the next few months, we feel compelled to present some of the most recurrent themes and concepts that our third publication will explore.

In the upcoming issue of Lingua Natolina, our authors and artists will investigate the dichotomy of progress vs regress from many angles so as to unveil their utmost intimate perceptions and share them with our readers.

As part of our section the "EU in verse", Kevin Le Merle, Alumnus of the College of Europe in Natolin and Founder of Lingua Natolina, unpacks in his poem in French and English the solitude of change, the adventure of exploration, and in doing so, speaks into everyday experiences of new environments.

We invite you to discover more original poems on our website:

Lingua Natolina is committed to promoting young artists. In Rot In Pieces, the artist Elina Le Merle reflects on the nature of death as the ultimate change we undergo. Far from romanticising death, her pencil sketch reveals the process of putrefaction, which emerges as gruesome yet poetic.

As part of our section dedicated to Politics, we once again invite our readers to reflect on the groundbreaking digital transformation spurred on by the current sanitary crisis. Our Salma Torjmane, alumna of the College of Europe in Natolin, offers us her expertise in Foreign Policy Analysis to present you with an account of the ways technology, and most recently, digital tools, have become a vital component of contemporary diplomatic practices. The author expands on a rather novel concept known as "digital diplomacy" destined to unlock new communication channels for diplomats and top government officials.

The Business & Insights section of Lingua Natolina explores the nexus between EU regulatory policy and industry action.
The earthquake provoked by Brexit has prompted a radical transformation of crucial industry sectors. Nevertheless, Brexit could become a blessing in disguise, an opportunity for further integration. For instance, the alumna Marion Tardif explores the potential merits of strengthening a pan-European industrial defense policy supported by a closer Franco-german alliance.

In our section dedicated to Politics, our contributors shed light on the open-ended global pandemic's impact on our daily professional and academic environment, eventually increasing our reliance on technology.
The section concludes with the drafting of Pedro Mendes' manifesto on a joint European school curriculum. The Portuguese alumnus calls for harmonizing the European educational system with the perspective to shape a common European memory for decades to come.

The European Green Deal aims to decouple economic growth from resource use. But is green growth even a feasible strategy?

Andreas Paikert argues that the base assumption of this European Sustainability Initiative is flawed: "Instead of decoupling economic growth from environmental pressure, we need to decouple the idea of a good life from economic growth".

On Tuesday, 23 March 2021, Lingua Natolina, and the Natolin Political Society, held a short student-led colloquium on non-conformity in European Affairs.

The topics discussed ranged from the role of political imaginaries to lead Europe forward, to the increasingly radical role of principles of international law. Talented students from University of Oxford and the College of Europe in Natolin presented their original and cutting-edge research. Subsequent discussions created synergies between political science and legal inquiry, hence demonstrating the benefits of interdisciplinary debates.
