Curious how citizens can ask the EU to propose new laws? Try it yourself in this online workshop. You will learn how the ECI works and how the ECI Forum can support you. Then you will work in small groups to develop your own initiative and present it to your peers. The workshop is held on 10 November, from 18:00 to 19:30 CET, in Spanish only.
Have an idea you would like to bring to the EU? Come to Oulu, or join online, to learn how the ECI works. Then work in groups to plan your own campaign: find partners in other EU countries and reach your audience, online and in person. Everyone is welcome, not only students. The workshop is held on 27 October, from 17:00 to 18:45 (EET), mainly in Finnish, with English support if needed.
Join the ECI Forum for a 1.5-hour breakfast workshop featuring an interactive ECI simulation and discover how the ECI can help you bring issues you care about to the EU agenda. The workshop will be held in English and French. Working in teams, you will develop your own initiative, build a campaign strategy and pitch your idea to other participants. No prior knowledge of the ECI or EU policy is needed – just bring your ideas and a cause you care about!

Introducing a new way to connect and interact with organisers, stakeholders and interested citizens through the European Citizens’ Initiative Facebook Group! Join the group today! As a member of this group, you will be able to stay informed, share information, news and events concerning the ECI in general and specific initiatives. We look forward to connecting with you there.
The Commission is redesigning the ECI website and is looking for volunteers to test it. The user test will be organised online, in English, as of December 2026. You will try the new website and share your opinion. No special skills or knowledge of the ECI are needed. Interested? Sign up for the user test
To sign an initiative, you give your nationality, first name and family name. Depending on your country of nationality, you also give your address and date of birth, or a personal identification number. In most countries you can also use the national eID scheme. Your personal data is protected by EU data protection rules. See the requirements for your country
Not every campaign has a large team or budget. This new ECI Forum blog shares practical advice on choosing social media platforms, working with influencers and organising communications with limited resources. Read the blog
