This webinar is part of a six-part series that will take place once per month starting from January until June. Developed by the European Association for Local Democracies (ALDA) in the framework of the FairEUproject, they aim to foster the successful inclusion of EU mobile citizens in their host EU country’s civil and political life. Through exploring the barriers EU mobile citizens face to exercise their political rights and what initiatives have been developed to tackle the issues, the webinars are designed to encourage solution-orientated discussions and engagement.
The 6 webinars will be with a duration of about 1 hour each. Drawing on FairEU project’s results and on the experience of invited specialist speakers, the webinars will be devoted every time to a different aspect: stakes and tools to increase the turnout of EU elections, facts and learning from last Brussels’ elections, the Road Trip Project to foster youth’s support to EU, reports on political participation of EU mobile citizens in the European countries.
We are also happy to inform that you can receive updates about the outcome of every webinar and the introduction of the following ones by subscribing to this monthly, 5-minute-reading-time newsletter (subscription form).
