Die Zukunft Europas gestalten – Mein Bild vom Frieden

ended

"Democracy in Europe is in crisis. Citizens are currently shaken by the war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022. With PEACE we address the current challenges, stressors of democracy in Europe and actively involve citizens. We want to contribute to the success of ""peaceful relations"" between Europeans; by bringing citizens into action and actively involving them in our cities of this network. We want to create a new narrative for Europe, one that promotes equality and is future-oriented, and in which we address young citizens in particular. In our cities, through the activities of PEACE, we want to give citizens of all ages the opportunity to get involved, to counteract their powerlessness and to engage with Europe, its values and its achievements - especially European citizenship - 30 years after the Maastricht Treaty. In workshops, exhibits of the future of Europe will be created: Expressions of citizens: inside in view of the topics 'war and peace', energy transition, Green Deal vs. mobility and the European citizenship. The workshops will look at what achievements Europe already has to its credit and discuss them for shaping the future of Europe. The exhibits will be pedagogically designed for an awareness campaign to be presented in each city of this consortium. This awareness raising about EUROPE, European citizenship and future issues will be presented in a transparent dome tent in each city. During this phase, an international panel discussion will take place in each city, with guests from each of the partner cities. Here, citizens will discuss the future of Europe with political representatives. An impulse paper will summarize the results."
