The citizens participants of the Conference on the Future of Europe address an open letter to the European Commission regarding the usage of their recommendations.

With the draft Blueprint for an European Citizens' Assembly, Citizens Take Over Europe calls on citizens as well as European democratic civil society to reflect on their discursive practices and to re-conceptualise their role in European democracy.

European citizens and civil society organisations expect the European Council, Commission and Parliament to match their words with actions for citizens to effectively participate in shaping the future of Europe: the crucial months of the Conference on the Future of Europe are ahead of us.

With the goal of demonstrating how self-organisation and empowerment of European citizens and civil society matter for the future of democracy across Europe, we encourage civil society organisations and citizens participants of the Conference on the future of Europe to answer our new survey.

A permanent European citizens’ assembly would be an audacious move towards the building – and vitalizing - of European democracy.
