Webinar: Germany's role and Europe's contribution: How foreign policy can be discussed with citizens
  Berlin, DE Conference

DETAILS

Early this year in 10 online sessions, 169 German citizens drawn by lot discussed the "role of Germany in the world" in a Citizens' Assembly under the patronage of Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble. Their recommendations will be handed over to the Bundestag parliamentary groups, who will discuss it still this legislative period. The Citizens' Assembly was initiated by Mehr Demokratie e.V. and Es geht LOS.

One of the working groups of the Assembly specifically dealt with the European Union. They looked at two key challenges: Decision-making on the common EU foreign policy and EU migration policy. They developed recommendations and showed a strong consensus that Germany can only implement its own interests as part of a united, strong and capable Europe. The EU now wants to involve EU citizens in a Europe-wide discussion with the with the "Conference on the Future of Europe". What were the results of the Citizens' Assembly? How can citizens co-create foreign and European policy?
