Metropolitan Europeans in Active Network, Inducing Novelties in Governance

AT A GLANCE

The project will be based on building a thematic network of European Metropolitan Cities that will exchange experiences about their management and role in the future of European governance, by focusing on the participation of citizens in these processes. The network will gather Metropolitan Cities with years of experiences with the Metropolis institutions and realities.

  • Five international events addressing both citizens and policy-makers
  • Participative local activities for citizens to discuss the covered topics
  • A questionnaire for target groups (before and after the events)
  • A website, necessary to facilitate networking among stakeholders
  • A movie and a publication about results achieved
