During the first week, from 5 to 11 October, we will also travel through time to rediscover Europe together. Each day a new episode of a mini-documentary will be published on the event website. Each episode presents the evolution of the EU and the birth of cohesion policy and its impact on the EU's construction. After each broadcast, two speakers (a former EU representative and a young EU citizen) will discuss live the episode and ask you to send questions/remarks to feed the debate and the upcoming Citizens’ dialogue planned on the 12 October.

Join us and share with us your thoughts and ideas! Let’s build the Citizens’ dialogue together!
