Think Global, Act Local

Active EUcitizens: Think Global, Act local is a pilot project that brings together towns and municipalities from 5 EU countries (Romania, Spain, Italy, Greece and Poland), that share the same goal to better involve their citizens in the life of the community while creating a sustainable strategy for cooperation and exchange of good practices at EU level. The project aims to enhance direct contact between citizens and authorities from the consortium countries, perform exchange of good practices, trans-national brainstorming and consultation process, in order to reinforce the feeling of belonging and awareness to the European family.

The project will be implemented over an 18-months period and consists of 3 strategic steps:

1. Small-scale citizens consultations and data gathering
2. Common long-term strategy for citizens’ involvement in communities’ directions and EU cooperation.
3. Pilot transnational activity: Active EUcitizens: Think Global, Act local

Our project is fully aligned with the general objectives of the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV), Network of Towns window, since our planned activities under the Working Packages strongly support the international cooperation between citizens of the consortium partners, will create a framework opened to debates and ideas, and will ultimately put together a clear strategy for citizens’ involvement in communities’ directions and EU cooperation.
