CTOE - Survey of European organised civil society and citizen participants of the Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE)

Since 2020, CTOE has advocated for creating a new public space for citizens to make their voices heard in European politics: a space co-created by citizens, centred on citizens’ participation, inclusively structured - hence, representative of the diversity of European society - and aimed at concrete effects. Hence a transnational European Citizens' Assembly (ECA) that effectively matters for EU policies and democracy. To arrive at this destination, we now work on a roadmap that draws lessons from our - citizen observers’ and citizen participants’ - experiences of CoFE (May 2021 - May 2022).

If you want to take part in this journey, we ask you to respond to a set of questions that are pertinent to our roadmap, in substance and for campaigning.

Please take 10-15 minutes to respond to 10 QUESTIONS by reflecting on your individual experiences, thoughts and ideas regarding how you perceive your role as citizen /civil society in European politics, in practice and desirably? What meaning an European Citizens' Assembly (ECA) has for you? How you  imagine innovative democratic practices across the EU? 

Your input will be vital for our crowdsourced strategic roadmap to demonstrate how self-organisation and empowerment of European citizens and civil society matter for the future of democracy in Europe.
