🚀 MV International organised the event "Launching Conference for Europe ReDefined" of the project "Citizens Councils for European Integration, AI in Future Identity, and Human-Centred Digital Citizenship" – FUTURENTITY, a Citizens' Engagement and Participation project co-funded by the CERV Programme of the European Union, held online on the 1st of July 2026.

🌍 In the framework of the FUTURENTITY project, representatives from the 8 partner countries – Romania, Greece, the Netherlands, Finland, Slovenia, Denmark, France and Italy – came together in a dynamic hybrid setting, bringing citizens, civil society, digital experts, local authorities and EU representatives together over two days.

🎤 The event opened with a welcome and a presentation of the project, followed by an introduction to all 8 consortium partners from across Europe. It featured two keynote speeches – one on AI Evolution and one on Digital Storytelling – complemented by breakout discussion groups built around the project's three pillars, and closed with a formal introduction to the Citizens' Councils and an open live Q&A with the speakers, inviting participants to sign up and take part in the project's full life cycle.

👥 The conference brought together 120 participants online, with at least 50% identifying as women or gender-diverse, in line with EU values of equality and representation. It successfully engaged a wide range of target groups: citizens of all ages and genders, young people aged 18–35 (including students and first-time voters), migrant and minority communities, civic educators and civil society actors working on inclusion, digital rights and youth empowerment, local authorities and municipal leaders active in digital innovation and citizen services, as well as EU and regional policymakers interested in grassroots consultation and future policy frameworks.

The event raised strong awareness of the project's mission and the EU values it promotes, achieved solid participation from target groups – especially underrepresented communities – and marked the launch of citizen involvement through sign-ups for the Councils and co-creation labs.

💡 FUTURENTITY aims to build a more human-centred, rights-based and participatory digital citizenship across Europe, helping citizens, civil society organisations, local authorities, educators, youth representatives and policymakers understand and shape the future of digital identity, rights and democratic participation in the EU.

The project “New Steps: EU’s first steps towards career transition support for dancers” – NewSteps - is a 36-month European initiative founded by the Erasmus Plus programme, that supports dancers in their career transition, addressing the short and physically demanding nature of dance careers. The project enables dancers to acquire new skills, particularly in cultural and artistic management, while continuing to perform. 💃✨

🌎 NewSteps involves partners from 5 different European countries, respectively Italy, Finland, Romania, Slovenia and Bulgaria.

✨NewSteps helps dance institutions create structured pathways that improve dancers employability, fostering long-term professional resilience.

The project aims to: Integrate and experiment with dual-career pathways for dancers across Europe, strengthening their professional competences, employability, and the competitiveness of the EU dance sector, while preventing the loss of artistic human capital.
