Local democracy - Factsheet by EPD and ALDA
What is local democracy and how can local democracy be promoted, in practice?
***
The European Partnership for Development (EPD) and ALDA illustrate in a fact sheet what is local democracy and local development and describe some key means with which local democratic governance can be promoted.
To understand what is local democracy is important also to have an idea of how to promote it and to reach the main and key means through which it can be possible.
Some of these key means at a glance are:
– Assigning clear-cut responsibilities to local government;
– Ensuring the accountability of local government;
– Engaging civil society in local decision-making;
– Fostering local participation.
The fact sheet also illustrates the following facts and figures:
– The number of elected local governments in the world’s least developed countries has increased 7% in the last 10 years.
– The EU committed EUR 32m to Local Authorities (LAs) for the 2014-17 period, equalling the funding of LAs for the entire 2007-13 period.
– The European Association for Local Democracy (ALDA) represents more than 250 LAs, associations of LAs, and CSOs from 40 countries.
ALDA is part of EPD’s Community of Practice, and our Secretary General Antonella Valmorbida sits in its Board of Directors.

European cities for migrants’ inclusion: Employment, Culture, Participation
On 22-23 March in Brussels, ALDA, GEA Coop Sociale i ICEI – Istituto Cooperazione Economica Internazionale joined their forces to organise an event aimed at exchanging and promoting cross-fertilisation on the topic of migrants’ integration.
***
The seminar “Employment, Culture, Participation: Re-shape European cities and communities for the effective inclusion of migrants” is part of ALDA’s initiative to reinforce the Europe for Citizens programme. “Europe for Citizens – One programme, 500 million voices” is the campaign that recalls EU citizens and institutions on the importance of dialogue and exchange in the process of policy-making at EU level.
The event brought together the experiences of three Europe for Citizens funded projects, with findings on employment, intercultural dialogue and participation. The activity was also a unique occasion to create synergies among beneficiaries of the programme and reflect on its added value for the European integration process by putting citizens at the centre of the action.
The two-day event was kicked off at the European Parliament with the support of MEP Gimenez Barbat, where over 40 participants had the opportunity to learn about the findings of the projects URGENT, BY-ME and the New European Citizens and let their voices be heard. Ideas and opinions from local authorities’ and civil society associations’ representatives were collected and debated with MEP Gimenez Barbat and Mr Gilles Pelayo, Head of Unit for the Europe for Citizens Programme.
The second day opened the floor for a further exchange on the inclusion of migrants by taking stock of the inputs raised at the European Parliament. Three working groups were held at the Representation of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region in Brussels in order to develop recommendations on migrants’ integration through employment, culture and participation. Participants are committed to further elaborate the first draft, following an inclusive online debate and hand the recommendations to EU institutions
The in-field visit to the Municipality of Etterbeek concluded the activity and was the occasion to analyse a set of good practices in a community particularly active in the migrants’ integration, as 40% of the Etterbeek population not being born in Belgium. Participants had the opportunity of exchanging experiences of the Cultural Centre ‘Le Senghor’, its programme “alpha/FLE”, the “living together” activities and other intercultural initiatives as well as on Etterbeek’s CPAS and “Corner of Regions” project.

Promoting youth participation at the local level: the experience of the project YouthMetre
On 14 February, ALDA officially launched, in partnership with other 5 European organisations, the YouthMetre platform, an online tool to promote e-participation of young people across Europe. The launch event took place at the Committee of the Regions (Brussels), and gathered together more than 100 representatives of European institutions, local and regional authorities, civil society associations, experts and ordinary citizens to exchange knowledge, experience and good practice on how to involve young citizens in the decision-making process, both at the local and European level.
***
The tool is the main outcome of the forward-looking project YouthMetre, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, under its KA3. The objective of the initiative is to provide youngsters with an innovative tool that will enable them to have access, via a digital data dashboard, to information on their policy-makers’ progress in addressing different youth issues and, thus, fostering their empowerment and active participation in democratic life. YouthMetre foresees activities whose specific aim is to provide in-depth knowledge about the self-perceived needs of the target groups (Young Europeans) in learning, teaching, training or youth work situations and effective methodologies and tools that help policy makers to develop initiatives in line with the target population’s collected needs.
The event was also an occasion to award local authorities particularly successful in the field of youth policies, such as the Province of Utrecht and West London that scored the highest according to the indicators of the Youth Development Index. Local authorities have indeed a key role to play within the project and as many as 15 pilot actions will be developed to test the tool at the local level. “We need to give room not just to participation to policy-making, but in fact to co-decision making. This cannot be done without young people. It is not a question of age, but of conviction” was the opening remark of Mr Luc Van den Brande, Member of the CIVEX of the Committee of the Regions.

Promouvoir la participation des jeunes au niveau local : l’expérience du projet “YouthMetre”
Le 14 février dernier, ALDA a officiellement lancé la plateforme “YouthMetre” en partenariat avec 5 autres organisations européennes. Cette plateforme est un outil en ligne pour promouvoir l’e-participation des jeunes à travers l’Europe. Le lancement a eu lieu au Comité des Régions (CdR) à Bruxelles et a rassemblé plus de 100 représentants d’institutions européennes, d’autorités locales et régionales, des associations de la société civile, des experts et des citoyens ordinaires. Ils ont échangé des connaissances, leurs expériences et les bonnes pratiques sur la manière d’impliquer les jeunes citoyens dans le processus de décision, à la fois au niveau local et européen.
Cet outil est le principal résultat du projet prospectif « YouthMetre », cofondé par le programme Erasmus+ dans le cadre de son Action Clé 3 (KA3). L’objectif de cette initiative est de proposer aux jeunes un outil innovant qui leur permettra d’avoir un accès, via un tableau de bord numérique, aux informations sur les progrès de leurs responsables politiques en réponses aux différentes problématiques de la jeunesse, et ainsi favoriser leur émancipation et leur participation dans la vie démocratique. Les activités envisagées de « YouthMetre » auront spécifiquement pour but de fournir une connaissance approfondie des besoins perçus par les groupes cibles (les jeunes européens) dans des situations d’apprentissage, d’enseignement, de formation ou de travail des jeunes. Mais ce seront aussi des méthodologies et des outils efficaces qui aideront les responsables politiques à développer des initiatives en accord avec les besoins des populations ciblés.
Le lancement de la plateforme a aussi été l’occasion de récompenser les autorités locales fructueuses dans le domaine de la politique jeunesse, comme les provinces d’Utrecht et de West London qui ont les scores les plus élevés selon les indicateurs de l’Indice de Développement des Jeunes (« Youth Development Index »). Les autorités locales ont en effet un rôle essentiel à jouer dans le projet et jusqu’à 15 actions pilotes seront développées pour tester l’outil à un niveau local. Monsieur Luc Van den Brande, membre de la Commission de la citoyenneté, de la gouvernance, des affaires institutionnelles et extérieures (CIVEX) du Comité des régions, a ouvert l’évènement en affirmant que « nous devons permettre non seulement la participation à l’élaboration des politiques mais surtout la prise de décision multilatérale. Cela ne peut pas avoir lieu sans jeunes. Ce n’est pas une question d’âge, mais de conviction. »

Promozione della partecipazione giovanile a livello locale: l’esperienza del progetto YouthMetre
Lo scorso 14 febbraio ALDA, in partenariato con altre 5 organizzazioni europee, ha dato il via alla piattaforma YouthMetre, uno strumento online per promuovere la partecipazione dei giovani da tutta Europa. Il lancio dell’evento si è tenuto presso il Comitato delle Regioni (Bruxelles), e ha riunito più di 100 rappresentanti di istituzioni europee, enti locali e regionali, organizzazioni della società civile, esperti e cittadini ordinari per scambiare esperienze e buone pratiche su come coinvolgere giovani cittadini nei processi decisionali, sia a livello locale che a livello europeo.
La realizzazione dello strumento è il risultato più importante ottenuto dal lungimirante progetto YouthMetre, co-finanziato dal programma Erasmus+. L’obiettivo dell’iniziativa è quello di fornire ai più giovani uno strumento innovativo che gli permetta, attraverso una piattaforma digitale, di avere accesso a informazioni sui progressi dei decisori politici circa le questioni relative ai giovani, favorendo così la loro presa di posizione e la loro partecipazione attiva nella vita democratica. Il progetto YouthMetre prevede attività il cui obiettivo specifico è favorire una profonda conoscenza e percezione dei bisogni dei giovani Europei nello studio, nell’insegnamento, nella formazione o nelle situazioni di lavoro giovanile, ed effettive metodologie e strumenti che possano aiutare i decisori politici a sviluppare iniziative in linea con i bisogni dichiarati dalla collettività.
L’evento ha inoltre rappresentato un’occasione per dare un riconoscimento a enti locali particolarmente all’avanguardia, come la Provincia di Utrecht e Londra Ovest, che hanno raggiunto livelli altissimi secondo gli indicatori dell’Indice di Sviluppo Giovanile. Gli enti locali hanno infatti un ruolo chiave in questo progetto, e 15 azioni pilota da sviluppare per testare lo strumento a livello locale. “Dobbiamo dare spazio non solo alla partecipazione nei processi politici, ma a processi decisionali realmente condivisi. Questo non può avvenire senza la partecipazione dei giovani. Non si tratta di una questione di età, ma di impegno” è stato il discorso di apertura di Luc Van den Brande, membro del CIVEX del Comitato delle Regioni.

Содействие участию молодежи на местном уровне: опыт проекта YouthMetre
14 февраля ALDA официально запустила, в партнерстве с другими 5 европейскими организациями, платформу YouthMetre, онлайновый инструмент для продвижения «электронного участия» молодых людей по всей Европе. Это событие состоялось в Комитете регионов (Брюссель), и собрало более 100 представителей европейских учреждений, местных и региональных органов власти, ассоциаций гражданского общества, экспертов и обычных граждан для обмена знаниями, опытом и хорошей практикой в том, как вовлечь молодых граждан в процесс принятия решений, как на местном, так и европейском уровне.
Этот инструмент является главным результатом реализации перспективного проекта YouthMetre, совместно финансируемого программой Erasmus+, в рамках KA-3. Цель инициативы состоит в том, чтобы обеспечить молодежь инновационным инструментом, который позволит им иметь доступ с помощью цифровой инструментальной панели данных к информации о ходе дел лиц, определяющих политику в решении различных вопросов, касающихся молодежи и, таким образом, способствуя расширению их возможностей и активного участия в демократической жизни. YouthMetre предусматривает деятельность, цель которой обеспечить глубокие знания о потребности целевых групп (молодых европейцев) в процессе обучения, преподавания, обучения или работы с молодежью, используя эффективные методологии и инструменты, которые помогают политикам разрабатывать инициативы совместно с собранными потребностями целевого населения.
Мероприятие было также поводом для награждения особенно успешных местных властей в области молодежной политики, таких как провинции Утрехт и Вест Лондон, которые получили самый высокий показатель Индекса развития молодежи. Местные органы власти играют ключевую роль в рамках проекта, и целых 15 пилотных мероприятий будут разработаны для тестирования инструмента на местном уровне. «Нам нужно создать платформу не только для участия в разработке местной политики, но и для совместного принятия решений. Это не может быть сделано без участия молодых граждан. Это вопрос не возраста, а убеждения», – заметил на открытии г-н Люк Ван ден Бранде, член CIVEX Комитета регионов.

Promovisanje participacije mladih na lokalnom nivou: iskustvo projekta YouthMetre
Dana 14. februara, ALDA je zvanično pokrenula, u saradnji sa drugih 5 evropskih organizacija, YouthMetre platformu, online alat za promociju e-učešća mladih ljudi širom Evrope. Otvarajući događaj je održan u Komitetu regiona (Brisel), a okupio je više od 100 predstavnika evropskih institucija, lokalnih i regionalnih vlasti, udruženja civilnog društva, stručnjaka i građana radi razmene znanja, iskustava i dobre prakse o tome kako uključiti mlade građane u proces donošenja odluka, kako na lokalnom tako i na evropskom nivou.
Ovaj alat je glavni rezultat projekta YouthMetre, ko-finansiranog od strane Erasmus + programa, pod merom KA3. Cilj ove inicijative je da obezbedi mladima inovativni alat koji će omogućiti da imaju pristup, preko table digitalnih podataka, informacijama o napretku donosilaca odluka u rešavanju različitih problema mladih i, na taj način, potičući osnaživanje i aktivno učešće u demokratskom životu. YouthMetre predviđa aktivnosti čiji je specifičan cilj da se obezbedi znanje o potrebama ciljnih grupa (mladi Evropljani) u učenju, nastavi, obukama ili omladinskom radu, kao i efikasnim metodologijama i alatima koji pomažu donosiocima odluka da razviju inicijative u skladu sa prikupljenim potrebama ciljne populacije.
Ovaj događaj je takođe bio prilika da se dodele nagrade lokalnim vlastima posebno uspešnim u oblasti omladinske politike, kao što je Pokrajina Utreht i Zapadni London koji su postigli najviše bodova prema pokazateljima Indeksa razvoja mladih. Lokalne vlasti imaju zaista ključnu ulogu u okviru projekta i čak 15 pilot akcije će biti razvijeno za testiranje ovog alata na lokalnom nivou. “Moramo dati prostora ne samo za učešće u donošenju politika, već i za ko-odlučivanje. To se ne može uraditi bez mladih ljudi. To nije pitanje starosti, već ubeđenja ” bila je otvarajuća primedba g. Luc Van den Brande, člana CIVEX Komiteta regiona.

Monsieur Luc Van den Brande, membre de la Commission de la citoyenneté, de la gouvernance, des affaires institutionnelles et extérieures (CIVEX) du Comité des régions, a ouvert l’évènement en affirmant que « nous devons permettre non seulement la participation à l’élaboration des politiques mais surtout la prise de décision multilatérale. Cela ne peut pas avoir lieu sans jeunes. Ce n’est pas une question d’âge, mais de conviction. »

Promozione della partecipazione giovanile a livello locale: l’esperienza del progetto YouthMetre
Lo scorso 14 febbraio ALDA, in partenariato con altre 5 organizzazioni europee, ha dato il via alla piattaforma YouthMetre, uno strumento online per promuovere la partecipazione dei giovani da tutta Europa. Il lancio dell’evento si è tenuto presso il Comitato delle Regioni (Bruxelles), e ha riunito più di 100 rappresentanti di istituzioni europee, enti locali e regionali, organizzazioni della società civile, esperti e cittadini ordinari per scambiare esperienze e buone pratiche su come coinvolgere giovani cittadini nei processi decisionali, sia a livello locale che a livello europeo.
La realizzazione dello strumento è il risultato più importante ottenuto dal lungimirante progetto YouthMetre, co-finanziato dal programma Erasmus+. L’obiettivo dell’iniziativa è quello di fornire ai più giovani uno strumento innovativo che gli permetta, attraverso una piattaforma digitale, di avere accesso a informazioni sui progressi dei decisori politici circa le questioni relative ai giovani, favorendo così la loro presa di posizione e la loro partecipazione attiva nella vita democratica. Il progetto YouthMetre prevede attività il cui obiettivo specifico è favorire una profonda conoscenza e percezione dei bisogni dei giovani Europei nello studio, nell’insegnamento, nella formazione o nelle situazioni di lavoro giovanile, ed effettive metodologie e strumenti che possano aiutare i decisori politici a sviluppare iniziative in linea con i bisogni dichiarati dalla collettività.
L’evento ha inoltre rappresentato un’occasione per dare un riconoscimento a enti locali particolarmente all’avanguardia, come la Provincia di Utrecht e Londra Ovest, che hanno raggiunto livelli altissimi secondo gli indicatori dell’Indice di Sviluppo Giovanile. Gli enti locali hanno infatti un ruolo chiave in questo progetto, e 15 azioni pilota da sviluppare per testare lo strumento a livello locale. “Dobbiamo dare spazio non solo alla partecipazione nei processi politici, ma a processi decisionali realmente condivisi. Questo non può avvenire senza la partecipazione dei giovani. Non si tratta di una questione di età, ma di impegno” è stato il discorso di apertura di Luc Van den Brande, membro del CIVEX del Comitato delle Regioni.

Содействие участию молодежи на местном уровне: опыт проекта YouthMetre
14 февраля ALDA официально запустила, в партнерстве с другими 5 европейскими организациями, платформу YouthMetre, онлайновый инструмент для продвижения «электронного участия» молодых людей по всей Европе. Это событие состоялось в Комитете регионов (Брюссель), и собрало более 100 представителей европейских учреждений, местных и региональных органов власти, ассоциаций гражданского общества, экспертов и обычных граждан для обмена знаниями, опытом и хорошей практикой в том, как вовлечь молодых граждан в процесс принятия решений, как на местном, так и европейском уровне.
Этот инструмент является главным результатом реализации перспективного проекта YouthMetre, совместно финансируемого программой Erasmus+, в рамках KA-3. Цель инициативы состоит в том, чтобы обеспечить молодежь инновационным инструментом, который позволит им иметь доступ с помощью цифровой инструментальной панели данных к информации о ходе дел лиц, определяющих политику в решении различных вопросов, касающихся молодежи и, таким образом, способствуя расширению их возможностей и активного участия в демократической жизни. YouthMetre предусматривает деятельность, цель которой обеспечить глубокие знания о потребности целевых групп (молодых европейцев) в процессе обучения, преподавания, обучения или работы с молодежью, используя эффективные методологии и инструменты, которые помогают политикам разрабатывать инициативы совместно с собранными потребностями целевого населения.
Мероприятие было также поводом для награждения особенно успешных местных властей в области молодежной политики, таких как провинции Утрехт и Вест Лондон, которые получили самый высокий показатель Индекса развития молодежи. Местные органы власти играют ключевую роль в рамках проекта, и целых 15 пилотных мероприятий будут разработаны для тестирования инструмента на местном уровне. «Нам нужно создать платформу не только для участия в разработке местной политики, но и для совместного принятия решений. Это не может быть сделано без участия молодых граждан. Это вопрос не возраста, а убеждения», – заметил на открытии г-н Люк Ван ден Бранде, член CIVEX Комитета регионов.

Promovisanje participacije mladih na lokalnom nivou: iskustvo projekta YouthMetre
Dana 14. februara, ALDA je zvanično pokrenula, u saradnji sa drugih 5 evropskih organizacija, YouthMetre platformu, online alat za promociju e-učešća mladih ljudi širom Evrope. Otvarajući događaj je održan u Komitetu regiona (Brisel), a okupio je više od 100 predstavnika evropskih institucija, lokalnih i regionalnih vlasti, udruženja civilnog društva, stručnjaka i građana radi razmene znanja, iskustava i dobre prakse o tome kako uključiti mlade građane u proces donošenja odluka, kako na lokalnom tako i na evropskom nivou.
Ovaj alat je glavni rezultat projekta YouthMetre, ko-finansiranog od strane Erasmus + programa, pod merom KA3. Cilj ove inicijative je da obezbedi mladima inovativni alat koji će omogućiti da imaju pristup, preko table digitalnih podataka, informacijama o napretku donosilaca odluka u rešavanju različitih problema mladih i, na taj način, potičući osnaživanje i aktivno učešće u demokratskom životu. YouthMetre predviđa aktivnosti čiji je specifičan cilj da se obezbedi znanje o potrebama ciljnih grupa (mladi Evropljani) u učenju, nastavi, obukama ili omladinskom radu, kao i efikasnim metodologijama i alatima koji pomažu donosiocima odluka da razviju inicijative u skladu sa prikupljenim potrebama ciljne populacije.
Ovaj događaj je takođe bio prilika da se dodele nagrade lokalnim vlastima posebno uspešnim u oblasti omladinske politike, kao što je Pokrajina Utreht i Zapadni London koji su postigli najviše bodova prema pokazateljima Indeksa razvoja mladih. Lokalne vlasti imaju zaista ključnu ulogu u okviru projekta i čak 15 pilot akcije će biti razvijeno za testiranje ovog alata na lokalnom nivou. “Moramo dati prostora ne samo za učešće u donošenju politika, već i za ko-odlučivanje. To se ne može uraditi bez mladih ljudi. To nije pitanje starosti, već ubeđenja ” bila je otvarajuća primedba g. Luc Van den Brande, člana CIVEX Komiteta regiona.

تقرير 2017 للاتحاد الأوروبي حول المواطنة – نحن في حاجة إلى التعاون فيما بيننا لتحسين الحياة الديمقراطية في الإتحاد
خلال شهر جانفي (كانون الثاني), نشرت المفوضية الأوروبية تقريرها الثالث حول المواطنة في الإتحاد الأوروبي والذي ضمنت فيه جملة من الأنشطة تهدف إلى تمكين المواطنين من الانتفاع بكامل حقوقهم أثناء العمل والسفر والدراسة والمشاركة في الانتخابات.
***
تكتسي التوعية بالحقوق المدنية والمشاركة في الحياة الديمقراطية أهمية بالغة لدى مواطني الاتحاد الأوروبي. إن ألدا تدعم بكل قوة الإعلان الصادر عن المفوضية حول وجوب قطع خطوات إضافية بهدف ترسيخ مبادئ الحياة الديمقراطية وقيمها داخل بلدان الاتحاد.
وفي ذات السياق, تضبط المفوضية الأوروبية الأولويات الثلاثة, للفترة 2017 – 2019, في مجال تعزيز مشاركة المواطنين في الحياة الديمقراطية ببلدان الاتحاد الأوروبي, ومن بين هذه الأولويات, يمكن الإشارة إلى ضرورة مضاعفة الجهود الداعية إلى إرساء الحوار بين المواطنين في الاتحاد الأوروبي وتشجيع الجمهور على الدخول في نقاشات بهدف تحسين الفهم لدى العموم حول تأثير الحياة اليومية للمواطنين في الاتحاد الأوروبي والتشجيع على تبادل الأفكار والآراء بين مختلف المواطنين الأوروبيين وكذلك تعزيز الممارسات الجيدة التي من شأنها أن تساعد هؤلاء المواطنين على الإدلاء بأصواتهم وعلى تنظيم الانتخابات في بلدان الاتحاد الأوروبي, إضافة إلى التشجيع على الإقبال المرتفع على صناديق الاقتراع وتوسيع قاعدة المشاركة في المنظومة الديمقراطية والاستعداد للاستحقاق الانتخابي المنتظر سنة 2019 في بلدان الاتحاد الأوروبي.
نحن لا نعيش في فترة تاريخية تتميز “بعالم الأعمال كما هو معتاد”, كما نحتاج جميعنا إلى التكاتف بهدف إعادة إنعاش المشروع الأوروبي”, كما جاء على لسان أنتونلا فلموربيدا, الأمينة العامة لألدا. تضطلع كل من مؤسسات الاتحاد الأوروبي والأطراف الرائدة, المعنية بمجال المشاركة المدنية, بدور كبير جدا لتحسين مظاهر الحياة الديمقراطية داخل الاتحاد الأوروبي اليوم. واختتمت السيدة فلموربيدا مداخلتها بالقول ” إذا ما انتظرنا إلى الغد, سوف يكون الوقت متأخرا”.

Evropska komisija je postavila tri prioriteta za 2017-2019 u oblasti promocije učešća građana u demokratskom životu EU, među kojima je: intenziviranje dijaloga sa građanima i podsticanje javnih debata, kako bi se poboljšalo javno razumevanje uticaja EU na svakodnevni život građana, kao i razmena mišljenja sa građanima; i promovisanje najboljih praksi koje pomažu građanima da glasaju i kandiduju se na izborima EU, radi podrške boljem odzivu i širokom demokratskom učešću u perspektivi evropskih izbora 2019.
“Svi treba da se pridružimo naporima da se oživi evropski projekat”, rekla je Antonella Valmorbida, generalni sekretar ALDA. “Institucije EU, zajedno sa vodećim akterima koji se bave građanskom participacijom, imaju veliku odgovornost u poboljšanju demokratskog života unije. “, zaključila je Valmorbida.

تقرير 2017 للاتحاد الأوروبي حول المواطنة – نحن في حاجة إلى التعاون فيما بيننا لتحسين الحياة الديمقراطية في الإتحاد
خلال شهر جانفي (كانون الثاني), نشرت المفوضية الأوروبية تقريرها الثالث حول المواطنة في الإتحاد الأوروبي والذي ضمنت فيه جملة من الأنشطة تهدف إلى تمكين المواطنين من الانتفاع بكامل حقوقهم أثناء العمل والسفر والدراسة والمشاركة في الانتخابات.

تكتسي التوعية بالحقوق المدنية والمشاركة في الحياة الديمقراطية أهمية بالغة لدى مواطني الاتحاد الأوروبي. إن ألدا تدعم بكل قوة الإعلان الصادر عن المفوضية حول وجوب قطع خطوات إضافية بهدف ترسيخ مبادئ الحياة الديمقراطية وقيمها داخل بلدان الاتحاد.
وفي ذات السياق, تضبط المفوضية الأوروبية الأولويات الثلاثة, للفترة 2017 – 2019, في مجال تعزيز مشاركة المواطنين في الحياة الديمقراطية ببلدان الاتحاد الأوروبي, ومن بين هذه الأولويات, يمكن الإشارة إلى ضرورة مضاعفة الجهود الداعية إلى إرساء الحوار بين المواطنين في الاتحاد الأوروبي وتشجيع الجمهور على الدخول في نقاشات بهدف تحسين الفهم لدى العموم حول تأثير الحياة اليومية للمواطنين في الاتحاد الأوروبي والتشجيع على تبادل الأفكار والآراء بين مختلف المواطنين الأوروبيين وكذلك تعزيز الممارسات الجيدة التي من شأنها أن تساعد هؤلاء المواطنين على الإدلاء بأصواتهم وعلى تنظيم الانتخابات في بلدان الاتحاد الأوروبي, إضافة إلى التشجيع على الإقبال المرتفع على صناديق الاقتراع وتوسيع قاعدة المشاركة في المنظومة الديمقراطية والاستعداد للاستحقاق الانتخابي المنتظر سنة 2019 في بلدان الاتحاد الأوروبي.
نحن لا نعيش في فترة تاريخية تتميز “بعالم الأعمال كما هو معتاد”, كما نحتاج جميعنا إلى التكاتف بهدف إعادة إنعاش المشروع الأوروبي”, كما جاء على لسان أنتونلا فلموربيدا, الأمينة العامة لألدا. تضطلع كل من مؤسسات الاتحاد الأوروبي والأطراف الرائدة, المعنية بمجال المشاركة المدنية, بدور كبير جدا لتحسين مظاهر الحياة الديمقراطية داخل الاتحاد الأوروبي اليوم. واختتمت السيدة فلموربيدا مداخلتها بالقول ” إذا ما انتظرنا إلى الغد, سوف يكون الوقت متأخرا”.
