Europeans try laid back conversation (8)
I believe the answer is:
dialogue
'conversation' is the definition.
(dialogue is a kind of conversation)
'europeans try laid back' is the wordplay.
'europeans' becomes 'eu' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'try' becomes 'go' (both can mean an attempt).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'eu'+'go'+'laid'='eugolaid'
'eugolaid' in reverse letter order is 'DIALOGUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dialogue that I've seen before include "Agile duo in conversation" , "Talks" , "brought into play perhaps" , "Lines spoken by characters in drama or fiction" , "Conversation between two people" .)
