Here is my graphic recording from the 3rd meeting of the ECI network, the European Citizens\u2019 Initiative.
For a full day, European partners working to promote and communicate this unique tool of participatory democracy gathered at the invitation of the Secretariat-General of the European Commission. Their goal? To explore how they could better collaborate so that more EU citizens are aware of and make use of the initiative.
From my external perspective, one key takeaway stood out: to truly reach citizens, we must meet them where they are, with stronger, more effective communication.\u00a0This means better campaigns, clearer tools, and more resources. Partners also expressed the need for financial support from the EU and called for a simplification of the administrative procedure, so that reaching the goal of one million signatures becomes more realistic. Incentives, encouragement, and active support from the Commission would help initiators stay motivated throughout the process.

And you, have you heard of this unique European tool for participatory democracy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to thank <\/a>Barbara Walentynowicz<\/a> and <\/a>Adriana Mungiu<\/a> for trusting me for the second consecutive year with the graphic recording; and thank <\/a>Mira Bangel<\/a> and <\/a>Marina Lynch<\/a> with whom the facilitation of the event is so natural and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
