"Citizen Process of EU Democratisation". July 1-2 at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve / Belgium

SAVE THE DATE !

The Franck Biancheri Network and iCAN invite you in Louvain-la-Neuve / Belgium on July 1-2!

EUCitizenProcess - Route 73 / Kick-off event

Dear all,

I would like to invite you to take part in the kick-off event of the "Citizen Process of EU Democratisation" taking place on July 1-2 at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve / Belgium (see the presentation here).

Registration deadline : June 19th, 2017!

The event is expected to gather 200 or more representatives of the European civil society, based on the combined energy of the "change agents" gathered on the iCAN network, Stand up for Europe and AEGEE-Europe as well as our own Franck Biancheri Network. The aim is to build a citizen momentum rooted in the European civil society, in order to contribute to the emergence of a trans-European full-flesh "political life" by the next 2019 European election.  This next election must absolutely provide the European citizens with their first democratic appointment around one common public debate on the directions to give to a highly depressed European construction. In order to make sure the next chapter of the European project serves the citizens' common interests, it is up to the European civil society to act and re-open a future to Europe. In Louvain-la-Neuve, the 200 EU Change Agents intend to kick-off this momentum.

The citizen process we wish to trigger will contribute to make more visible and help structure the progressive debate on the future of Europe. In Louvain-la-Neuve we plan to have the kick-off event, but hopefully actions will be launched, such as : the "European Festivals' Moving Tribune", a "Public debate on Europe", a youtube channel, an "elect George" citizen-based e-election to test trans-European elections...

Ideas and energies such as yours are needed there and therefore we hope we can count on you on July 1-2 (you can already register online and circulate the information towards those around you likely to be interested - any suggestion regarding programme, speakers, organisation are most welcome!).

I would be happy to tell you more about this project.

Kindest regards,

Marie-Hélène Caillol,
President Association des Amis de Franck Biancheri / Co-founder of ICAN
