5 April marked the start of the European Citizens' Panel on Tackling Hatred in Society (co-funded by the CERV programme). 150 citizens, selected at random from all 27 Member States, came together to look at the root causes of hatred and ways to address them. The aim of this Citizens' Panel is to produce recommendations on how to build bridges across fractured groups and communities.
