The WE CHALLENGE team comprises five women from four different European countries: The Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and Belgium.Just graduated with a master in European Studies – Global Challenges in the context of a global pandemic, we have decided to use the knowledge achieved to reflect on the global challenges the pandemic is bringing on the EU – weakened by Brexit, the growth of Eurosceptic feelings across Europe, and the so-called migration crisis that tested European solidarity – and on the rest of the world.We first started by talking about how our own countries were handling the crisis, comparing the different impacts of governments' measures and the conspiracy myths and demonstrations taking place across Europe.Moreover, we were reflecting on the limited power of action the EU institutions had to fight this virus and asking ourselves whether the crisis would have been better-taken care of if the countries had been less attached to their sovereignty or whether it would have been worse?
