EU embarks on massive citizen engagement plan – Walsh

An ambitious EU plan to engage citizens around the bloc to shape its future got underway today.

The presidents of the European Commission, Parliament and Council signed a joint declaration on the Conference on the Future of Europe.

Its aim is to enable citizens to participate in reshaping EU policies and institutions.

Those behind the initiative say people will be able to take part in many events and debates across the EU, as well as having a say through a multilingual digital platform.

Fine Gael MEP Maria Walsh explains how it’s going to work.
