Fast track to citizens’ engagement in the EU

forthcoming

The 'Fast track to citizens’ engagement in the EU - ExpressEU' project is designed to advance citizens' engagement in the EU and the overarching democratic dialogue in European societies. This goal is achieved through the implementation of awareness-raising, training and capacity-building, and analytical activities, promoting linkages between citizens, EU and national policy-makers and the expert communities belonging to academia and the think tank world. Activities will promote active citizenship, fact-based civic education, the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms as well as the principles of democracy and the rule of law while opening up fora for exchanges. ExpressEU's work programme crosses national borders, levels of governance, academic disciplines and societal groups, leveraging the Trans European Policy Studies Association's pan-European network of 49 leading research institutes.
