ECI Network Gathering - 'Connecting your ideas in Brussels' - 1 June
Call for expressions of interest from multipliers in under-represented EU countries

To mark the 10th anniversary of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), the ECI team in the European Commission is organising a special event in Brussels to bring together people who contribute to the promotion and awareness raising of the ECI around the European Union. The ECI Network Gathering – Connecting your ideas in Brussels, on the afternoon of 1 JUNE 2022, brings together ECI National Contact Points, ECI ambassadors, representatives of the ECI Forum as well as experts from the European institutions and other relevant stakeholders.

To ensure a good geographical representation, we are offering a few sponsored places to multipliers who have already promoted the ECI from the following countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal and Romania.

In this interactive meeting, participants will have the chance to meet other people involved in communicating about the ECI, share experiences and tips on communicating about active citizenship/democracy in general and the ECI in particular, and make suggestions regarding how we all could most effectively work together to make the ECI better known.

Would you like to join? Please send a short motivation and evidence of past promotional activities to SG-ECI-COMMUNICATION@ec.europa.eu. Additionally, we ask you to register as soon as possible and at the latest by 23 May 2022, using the online registration form (link below). The form password is: ECI2022.

This gathering is organised in parallel with the ECI DAY 2022 conference on 2 June.
