U-Impact debate in Spain on Education for Participation

January 22, 2016 @ 09:00 - 17:30

Our partner in Spain, Fundación Ciudadanía, is organizing a public debate entitled “Cross-border initiative on EU Citizenship: Education for Participation” on the 22th of January. The debate will take place in Merida and will focus on public policies in support of citizen participation. The debate will also discuss the findings of University professors on citizen participation initiatives and will address the importance of educating young people on the effective use of available instruments for participatory democracy, such as the European Citizens’ Initiative or the Committee on Petitions of the European Parliament.

This debate is organised under the U-Impact project – a project launched in April 2015 and implemented by 9 partners which aims at fostering a meaningful debate with policy-makers and at creating mechanisms for turning citizen involvement into effective impact on EU policy. The three previous events in Sofia (Bulgaria), in Bucharest (Romania) and in Nicosia (Cyprus) focused, respectively, on the EU citizens ‘in limbo’, on the Schengen dilemma and the implications for free movement rights in the EU, and on the instruments available to EU citizens and CSOs to influence policy-making.
