The Conference on the Future of Europe -
How could it be used to advance Agenda 2030 in Europe?
Webinar, Tuesday 28th September at 10-11 am CEST
In the absence of an overarching strategy for implementing 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, civil
society organisations and other stakeholders are calling for a rethink on how to make
policymaking more collaborative, inclusive, transparent, and therefore more effective for
stakeholders at all levels.
The Conference on the Future of Europe<https://futureu.europa.eu/> is a short-term
civil-society engagement mechanism established by the European Commission for European
citizens and other stakeholders to engage in the design of Europe's common future.
Could this be one solution for more stakeholder participation and structured dialogue
between stakeholders, citizens and the European Commission, Parliament and the Council?
These questions will be considered in this webinar, organised as part of the European
Sustainable Development Week<https://futureu.europa.eu/pages/about> to promote
active engagement on sustainable development.
After reflections on how the Conference of Europe could be used to advance Agenda 2030
from Mr Mattia de´ Grassi, Member of Vice-President Dubravka Šuica´s Cabinet (TBC),
panelists Ms Aleksandra Šuster Močnik, Spokesperson for the Government Office, Republic of
Slovenia; Ms Annika Lindblom, President of European Sustainable Development Network; and
Mr Aku Aarva, Executive Director, European Movement in Finland will share their points of
view. Panelists will also be presented with questions from participants - you will be
encouraged to submit your questions through Slido.
Details of the agenda can be found below.
Your participation is warmly welcomed!
