Seen through the people's eyes:
The Role of the EU in the world
THE ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN THE WORLD
In a world facing global challenges, strengthening transnational democracy is crucial. The EU has pioneering experience with a unique set of participatory tools that include citizens and residents in decision-making. It is of pivotal importance to understand its responsibility in promoting citizen involvement in global decision-making.
That’s the goal of EU for Global that seeks to build trust in transnational democracy by encouraging democratic participation of traditionally underrepresented groups. We will consult people living in the EU on their views on the role of the European Union in the world to co-design recommendations on EU policies towards global issues.
PHASES OF THE PROJECT
In the Online Consultation, over 300 people living in the EU share their views on participatory mechanisms and the role of the EU in the world.
In 16 Panels, citizens and residents in eight EU member States deliberate different global challenges and formulate recommendations on how the EU should position itself in the world.
The co-designed recommendations will be presented to the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and other high-level political representatives.
