🇪🇺 Ways of Europe: Same Journey, Next Chapter ✨
Yesterday, October 13, the European Parliament hosted a day of dialogue and exchange, bringing the ideas, experiences and proposals developed throughout the project directly into the heart of European institutions.
🌍 From Brussels to Lampedusa, from Calais and Dunkirk to Budapest and Barcelona, with further milestones in Turin and Rome, each stage of the journey gave young people the opportunity to express their perspectives, transforming reflections on democracy, solidarity, human rights and inclusion into manifestos, creative outputs and concrete policy recommendations.
🤝 The event brought together civil society organisations, project participants and European institutional representatives to discuss the project's outcomes, identify opportunities for future cooperation and explore how citizen participation, particularly among young people and underrepresented communities, can become a more permanent and meaningful part of democratic decision-making processes.
🏛️ The exchanges provided an important opportunity to share the project's recommendations with institutional stakeholders and strengthen connections between civil society and European institutions, highlighting the importance of turning participatory experiences into lasting democratic practices.
💬 As Ways of Europe reaches the end of its journey, one question remains open: how can we ensure that citizens' voices continue to shape European policies and decisions beyond the lifetime of individual projects?
