The Citizens Take Over Europe coalition takes up the challenge to put citizens back at the center of the conversation. To do so the coalition introduces the European Citizens Assemblies, sharing their ideas and highlighting the benefits shown by citizens' participation in the democratic process. Let's design the Europe that we want: a Europe that cares and is taken care of!
Programme of the two-part events:
1. Discover
* StamEuropa, a new civic space at heart of the EU
* Citizens Take Over Europe: Origin, manifesto and ten principles for a citizens-centered CoFoE
* The European Citizen Assemblies
* EU Sign Day Initiative
2. Act
The European HomeParliments meet the Assemblies of Solidarity!
Participants will be split up in small groups to discuss. Participants will have the opportunity to share their views and explore ideas on the role of the EU after the pandemic. The conclusions will be followed by an expert or member of the European Parliament present at the event.
