Citizens for Europe: Europe NEEDS YOU!

Citizens for Europe: Europe NEEDS YOU!

How can we get people more engaged in the European project? At this Funky Friday event, we get to the core of what the EU is all about and figure out how to convince Europeans of the EU’s continued relevance in this day and age. Through a mixture of brainstorming activities, dialogue-driven debate and interactive exercises, we consider how best to demonstrate the EU’s ability to affect real change in the lives of Europeans across all member states.

Activities include:

– “Bio-hacking”… let’s get creative – splice together the best animal features to engineer a new EU creature that survives the coming global challenges.
–  Deep dive discussions into the EU project with the one and only Bob Cox, former senior representative at the European Commission and Europhile.
– Power to the people – does ‘We, the people’ have a meaning in the EU? We hear from Stephen Clark, Director for the European Parliament Liaison Offices, to find out.

So, save the date in your diary! Join us on 3 May at TownHall Europe to learn how we can all support the European project by becoming its ambassadors. As we edge closer to the European elections, and with the chances of a political shake-up becoming increasingly likely, the EU will need you – its citizens – to stand up for it, now more than ever.

The event will be moderated by Tamsin Rose, Senior Fellow at Friends of Europe.
