fields and a better understanding of EU achievements and benefits.

provide them with the opportunity to interact actively, to participate and to construct a stronger Europe by having their say and interaction in the post-debate of the Conference on the future of Europe and by enrolling them actively in the coming 2024 EP elections.
✓ to empower the “ordinary” citizens to play a full part in the democratic life of the EU on
local/regional and European level by providing a “public open space” and responsible
listening and by giving them a chance to present freely and openly their views and
meaningfully relate them to their social reality on important European policy topics and by
raising and developing a sustainable and reasonable active involvement in European related
Issues.
✓ to involve local communities and citizens in action to combat stigmatization of
disadvantaged members of the community and to foster tolerance and empathy, which in
turn brings about a more cohesive, democratic, forward-looking, and constructive Europe.

communal level between the local actors (NGOs, institutions, LA/RA and public sector) and
strengthen the skills and capabilities of all actors, including NGOs representatives.
