Europe-wide activities on the Future of Europe
from October 2002 to November 2003

JEF Europe wants to encourage all its sections to organise talks, debates, seminars and conferences all over Europe on topics related to the Future of Europe debate.

The objective of these activities is to evaluate in different debates on the local, regional and international level what the Convention has been doing so far, and of course to make federalist proposals to the Convention.

With these activities we want to involve the European citizens, and esp. the youngest ones, in the debate on the Future of Europe.

The activities can be related to a wide range of themes, as long as they are lined to the work of the Constitutional Convention and the Future of Europe Debate:

- the European Convention
- the themes elaborated in the Nice and Laeken declarations
- more general issues concerning the European Union's objectives and basic values
- the future of EU's policies
- the consequences of enlargement
- the European social model
- European governance

Next to the traditional conferences and debates, the sections are encouraged to organise events in which the participants will be actively involved: interactive activities like workshops, simulation games, themed public actions, to attract public attention and motivate participants.

These activities should be linked to the large scale activities organised at European level. This is important in order to develop the transnational and European dimension of the project.

You, as representatives of JEF sections, can be part of this project by organising a debate in your hometown.more....
