The European Citizens Summit is an annual conference organised by the EU Civil Society Contact Group, aiming to envision a Europe for and from citizens. In 2014, the second edition of the Citizens Summit is entitled "Beyond the growth obsession - rights, justice and democracy for a renewed Europe" and will gather citizens, activists, NGOs from all over Europe and beyond. On 10 July, a webinar took place to present the Summit and launch its new website citizenssummit.eu.

The Citizens Summit will propose interactive and participative workshops and sessions, to discuss our main demands, about a new Europe for and from citizens:

  • 1. A structured and transparent Civil Society Dialogue:
  • inclusive, fair and respectful, accessible, properly facilitated
  • 2. A Participatory Democracy through accessible tool for European Citizens
  • 3. Discuss and create legitimacy for an alternative vision
