What old & new tools do citizens have to participate in EU politics and get their voice heard?
On the 25th of February, 16:30-18:00 CET, the European Forum Alpbach is organising their next Democracy Community call on the topic: “Citizen Participation & Lobbying for a more Democratic Europe“.
The event is supported by the National Endowment for Democracy and will feature two speakers: Alberto Alemanno & Nagy Dénes András.
The speakers will focus both on critically examining existing tools for citizen participation like the European Citizens Initiative, as well as discussing upcoming tools like the Conference on the Future of Europe.
