A New European week in pictures

Last week, New European Devika was resident of our Instagram account. Devika focuses on diversity, tradition, social movements and emancipation: complex topics, entangled in hidden stories about our daily life Europe and it’s history. Have a look at her week in snapshots.

You may not know who this is now, but you will someday: this 12 year old girl is the future Queen of The Netherlands. Her life is decided by the tradition of royal houses, still practiced in seven European countries. #Europe #monarchy #princess #prinsesAmalia #royalty #tradition #neweuropeans

Now this girl is definitely not the future Queen of The Netherlands (see our last photo). This is me, @devikagauri, the New European that's posting pictures this week!

European traditions: another royal member of the EU. Not Hamlet but this guy is the actual Prince (and future king) of Denmark. His name is Frederik, and he once made a 2800 km trip with a dogsled through Greenland. #royalhouse #Denmark #princeFrederik #monarchy #Europe #oldfashioned

Our very own @elisamgrasso built a swing! We don't recommend this swinging position though – we had no idea how to stop #oops. Find it hidden in between the billboards at Kattenburgerstraat ? #Amsterdam #playground #TheWall #neweuropeans

One of the biggest challenges facing Europe – and the entire world – remains the embracement of diversity. When even Barbie is doing better than us, maybe we should try a little harder.. #Europe #Barbie #superdiversity #bodytypes #culturalheritage #feminism #internationalwomensday
