Events Calendar

The Conference on the Future of Europe has been launched to allow citizens from the 27 member states to discuss and suggest policy proposals through local events, panels, and an online platform, in order to shape the Future of Europe. EURACTIV takes this opportunity to launch its "Debating Europe's future" Twitter Chat. Each Twitter Chat will be about one of the CoFoE panels' topics. The first edition will tackle the "European democracy/values, rights, rule of law, security" panel, following the second citizen's session.

Join EURACTIV and our journalist on Tuesday 7 December for a Twitter Chat on Democracy and the Conference on the Future of Europe.

Our Twitter account @eaPolitics will share the following questions on Twitter and invite you to share responses using #eaPolitics:

Q1. What do you think are the main rule of law and democratic problems that the EU has to face?

Q2. Most participants at the citizens’ panel said it is a shame that few people know how the EU works. How can the EU solve this problem?

Q3. One of the panel topics is “reforming the EU”. What reforms might make the EU more democratic?

Q4.How can the EU fully include groups who are targets for discrimination fully into democratic life?

Q5.The second panel’s members will elaborate recommendations in the third session. What recommendations would you make?

What is a Twitter chat, and how do you join?

A Twitter Chat is a discussion between Twitter users that get online at a pre-arranged date and time to discuss a specific topic using a designated #hashtag (for this chat it’s #eaPolitics). The hashtag links the questions and answers in a virtual conversation.

As the host of the Twitter Chat, @eaPolitics will post questions identified as Q1, Q2 and so on, to prompt answers from participants, which are identified as A1, A2 and so on. We will moderate the answers and ask follow up questions to participants. Please be sure to use the #eaPolitics when answering the questions.

The Twitter Chat will last about an hour. The best way to see the entire conversation is to search for the hashtag #eaPolitics on twitter and switch to the "latest tweets" tab.
