CITIZENS' DIALOGUE - Dialogue with citizens

The European Commission is taking part in the European cities Dialogues with Citizens to show the concrete face of Europe but above all to gather the demands, the expectations, the criticisms of the citizens on the policies of the Union and on the European construction path. In line with the topics discudded, the European Commissioners responsible were present as representatives of the governments and local institutions at the Dialogues.
The Representation of the European Commission in Italy has decided to promote, from the end of 2017 and throughout 2018, a series of Dialogues with citizens to share their point of view on the future of Europe.

Dialogues with citizens are public debates with European Commissioners and other decision-makers in the EU, such as members of the European Parliament or political representatives at national, regional and local levels. Events, organized as question and answer sessions, are an opportunity to pose questions to EU policymakers, express opinions and describe the impact of EU policies on citizens. You can also share your ideas about the future of Europe.
