The overall objective of the Civil Society Days event is to highlight the contribution civil society organisations are making to the building of a European Union which is more in tune with citizens’ aspirations.
Together with experts, EU policy-makers, national Economic and Social Councils, youth representatives, journalists, and civil society across Europe including candidate countries, we will host a four-day forum for lively debates and collaborative workshops, focusing on questions such as:
- How could a European Civil Society Strategy foster greater cohesion?
- How could participatory approaches drive cohesion and inspire collective action for Europe’s green and blue future?
- How could Europe lead in innovation while upholding its values, principles, and ethical standards?
- What policies are needed to enable capacity-building and funding for European civil society?
- What is the role of the European Citizens’ Initiative in tackling polarisation?
- How could support be strengthened for the ECI at different levels in the Member States?
