European citizenship and political participation – EUNITE! workshop and final conference
Are you a EU citizen? Would you like to share with other people from the rest of Europe about European institutions, citizenship and participatory democracy? Improve your knowledge with EUNITE!.
The recent 2024 European elections were an important experience of participatory democracy which involved millions of European citizens.
EUNITE! – through all the events organized in 2023 and 2024 in Italy, France, Greece, Croatia and Belgium – has prepared hundreds of citizens for the elections, through a series of training and cultural events on different topics: the EU institutions and its roles, disinformation and mass-media, sharing of ideas and experiences, design of policy proposals and debates with policy makers.
The EUNITE! campaign will be completed in October with two events in Belgium involving around 150 participants from the different partner countries.
