    Communication activities

    The EPF has carried out very substantial inputs to the methodology and priorities developed by the European Parliament through an extensive collaboration with AFCO. The EPF has further provided substantial support to the methodologies developed by the European Commission and indirectly by the Council.

    Really substantial support has been given to AFCO's initiative to establish a permanent mechanism for increased democracy through citizens' initiatives in a permanent mechanism.

    During the last 4 years the EPF has carried out substantial public relations in favour of the participatory involvement of citizens in decision and policy making of the European Union.

    In the run-up to the Conference on the Future of Europe the EPF has in 10-15 articles and interviews in European media promoted the active participation of citizens in the conference dialogue.

    The EPF has been lead in preparing applications for support to cross-European projects, carrying out citizens consultations


    Citizens Looking for Multidimensional Migration Challenges (CITIMIG)
    Europe’s Peoples’ Forum is an active partner in this 18 months project that has been co-financed by the Europe for Citizens programme. The project aims to promote citizen participation in the EU policy-making process regarding migration from different perspectives such as economic, security and environmental among others. The goal is to gather experts, citizens and political leaders to discuss, give their views and achieve a policy briefing together. Following this strategy, the project aims to be innovative, inclusive and interactive.


    JOINT CITIZENS’ FORCES – COMMON EUROPEAN FUTURE (JOCICEF)
    Europe's People's Forum has been part of the project JOINT CITIZENS’ FORCES – COMMON EUROPEAN FUTURE (JOCICEF), co-funded by the Europe for Citizens Programme of the European Union and under the auspices of the President of the European Parliament. The project aims at empowering European citizens and civil society organisations and offers them a platform for structural dialogue with the EU policy- and decision-makers on the common future in a turbulent and decisive period for European integration.
