In 2007, thousands of randomly selected EU citizens from all walks of life took part 00:00:00
in six different participatory democracy projects across the EU. 00:00:15
From the 7th to the 9th of December, 250 people gathered in Brussels to draw conclusions from 00:00:19
these projects. 00:00:25
To me, public debate is vital, and I would even call it the lifeblood of democracy. 00:00:27
Governments and European institutions need to know what issues concern people and what 00:00:35
policy changes people want. 00:00:40
So we listen to civil society, we carry out opinion polls, we do consultations, we run 00:00:43
interactive internet sites, and we organise events like this one. 00:00:49
The projects were run by civil society organisations and co-funded by the European Commission. 00:00:55
People, young people, are practical. 00:01:02
We are practical. 00:01:04
We want to know how the EU decisions affect our lives. 00:01:05
We don't want propaganda, we just need practical information, the opportunities the EU gives. 00:01:11
The participants debated the concerns that emerged from the projects and produced a set 00:01:19
of 27 recommendations which they gave to a panel of decision makers. 00:01:23
Reading European history is one of the most important keys in creating in all of us a 00:01:28
new sense of belonging. 00:01:34
We must teach children from a very early age to understand where we've come from. 00:01:37
What kind of Europe do we want? 00:01:43
Do we simply want a huge European market, or do we want something more than that? 00:01:44
Europe for me shouldn't be like a fortress, like a castle, a closed castle. 00:01:52
We should have a positive message to everybody that would like to join Europe in future, 00:01:56
the European Union. 00:02:00
The recommendations covered issues such as social policy, education, migration, the EU's 00:02:02
role in the world, and the need to involve citizens more in decision making. 00:02:07
They were later sent in an open letter to the EU heads of state and government, the 00:02:12
national parliaments, the EU institutions, and the European political parties. 00:02:16
The citizens asked the politicians and institutions to take note of the recommendations, to address 00:02:21
them, and to encourage the development of active European citizenship. 00:02:26
You have a rather strong language in the social points here, and I think this is an important 00:02:32
message. 00:02:39
But it would be very nice not only to see that the Commission listens, that it learns, 00:02:40
but also to hear maybe, after one year, the reflection. 00:02:46
What is actually the outcome on all the contributions that we made now? 00:02:49
The European Commission intends to continue and deepen this dialogue with citizens in 00:02:53
the future. 00:02:58
