Citizens Take Over Europe ontstond in het voorjaar van 2020 te midden van de recente Covid-19-pandemie, waarin we erkenden hoeveel het gebrek aan Europese democratie ons leven diep beïnvloedt.

On the week of 9th of May, Europe Day, at Citizens Take Over Europe we are organising a series of online events in cooperation with all the members of the coalition, taking place across Europe, online, and in different languages. Starting on the 4th of May, our message with these events is one and is clear: we want a conference on the future of Europe that truly puts citizens at the centre and pays attention to our demands.
EU SIGN DAY is a self-organised initiative climaxing on the 9th of May 2021 that aims to inform as many European Citizens as possible about their right to shape the future of Europe with one (or more signatures) on the European Citizens Initiative.
The project is coordinated by European Alternatives, the Citizens Take Over Europe coalition, and their member’s network which brings together more than 50 civil society organisations from across Europe to prepare for and engage with the Conference on the Future of Europe.
We are writing to you at the outset of what we hope will be a historical semester of the European Union. The EU is at a crossroads in its history: the need for the European Union to transform into a social, sustainable, democratic, and citizen-led project is greater than ever before. This is why we, citizens and civil society organisations from across Europe, are calling on you to make true the promise of the proposed Conference on the Future of Europe to guide the EU out of the many crises with which it is confronted.
