  Hello, everyone.
  
  
   
  
  
  I am a graduate student seeking my Master’s degree in the Department of Geography at Harokopio University of Athens, Greece (http://www.geo.hua.gr) and I am conducting a study on the mobility of EU citizens in Europe as the Community’s main goal is to encourage open and easily accessible opportunities for citizens to move around the Union for different purposes.
  
  
   
  
  
  I would be happy to have a feedback on how you chose to move to Corfu, your experience from your life on the island so far, any problems or difficulties that you might be facing in your everyday life in winter and summer.
  
  
   
  
  
  Best,

  Spyros as per my homepage post, can you clarify whether you are only conducting a study of British migratory behaviour to Corfu, or whether in fact you would like the opinions and input of other EU nationals? With expanding German and Dutch communities as well as growing numbers of other EU nationals, they may be valuable contributors to your Intra-EU mobility study if your project is covering this angle.

  As the design of the study is still in progress, my research project concerns the British expats in Corfu who are probably the biggest EU community on the island but it could expand to cover other EU nationalities as well. So I would be happy to also receive a feedback from the members of the German and Dutch communities on the island.

  If anyone would be interested in speaking in person to Mr Parthenis about their experience of life in Greece and problems with everyday living here, please contact me. He will be visiting the island in the near future and I am trying to organise a small group to meet up and discuss things with him to help in his project. It would be a good chance for you to discuss your problems with bureaucracy in particular.Thanks.

  Hello,
  
  I would appreciate your feedback in our online survey concerning the mobility of citizens within Europe, in the framework of my master's dissertation at Harokopio University of Athens, Department of Geography (http://www.geo.hua.gr). The survey is only addressed to EU/EAA nationals residing on Corfu island, Greece, permanently or for part of the year. In this survey, you will be asked to complete some questions about your everyday life on Corfu and the challenges and/or problems you might be facing as an EU/EAA national living in another Member State. Understanding some of the dimensions of free movement within Europe could help EU/EAA citizens to be aware of their rights and of the advantages they can benefit from as citizens of an enlarged Europe. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire. All responses will remain confidential and secure. Thank you in advance for your valuable insights.
