The European Citizens’ Initiative: Denmark in focus

Discover and engage a tool to carry your ideas across the EU!

Do you want to discover how you can make an impact at EU-level on issues that you care about?

Join us to learn more about the unique possibilities the European Citizens’ Initiative tool offers for citizen participation and participatory democracy in Europe.

We will cover how the Initiative works and how people can get involved – and co-create a participatory space to connect, exchange and understand the support network available to initiative organisers.

The 1.5-hour event takes place online and focusses on a Danish audience.

Starting with a panel discussion (with interpretation offered from/to Danish and English), speakers will contextualise and highlight the European Citizens’ Initiative in today’s context where various participatory tools are available at local, national and European level. An overview of the process will be given, including where and how initiative organisers can get peer-based and professional support to successfully manage their initiative.

Following the panel, initiative organisers share experiences and answer questions from participants. Throughout the event participants will have the opportunity to engage with speakers.
