The Travelling Assembly
Towards a permanent Peoples' Assembly for Europe
A citizens' agenda in times of Crisis: From passive victims to effective changemakers?
To prepare for our Assembly moment in Florence (21-23 February), we discuss the following:
What kinds of things could you do as a citizen to change how crises are handled? What support would you need for the things you want to do, either before or during crises?
This is a space where all can contribute! You can add a comment or react to those from others. A summary of this debate will be presented to the Assembly Members during the Florence Assembly moment (External link), so you can also contribute to the process!

I think it's important to create an awareness of European citizenship on a daily basis, day by day, over the long term. It's important for everyone to feel that they are a citizen in their own right, not entirely apart from it.
We need to set up European Citizens' Houses at the local level, which is where the citizen lives (i.e. in each municipality, rural or urban area), a one-stop shop providing information on European programs, financial support for projects, exchanges, European networking with other citizens, training, awareness-raising on European public affairs (European res publica), so that everyone can take ownership of the European project, contribute their ideas and question MEPs and other European institutions.
