Project INCLUDE

On 10 March 2018, the City of Paris, together with the European Civic Forum and the Jeunes Européens-France, launched an ambitious two-year project. The INCLUDE (Initiatives nouvelles pour la citoyenneté locale et urbaine des Européens) project aims at promoting European citizenship at the local level and inspire other public authorities elsewhere in Europe. 

The idea behind the programme is to better inform Parisians about their rights as European citizens. Also, INCLUDE invites European citizens living in Paris to take part in the local community, not only by registering for local and European elections, but also through participation in decision-making. 

THE PROJECT’S ACTIVITIES

  • Launch and drive a European info-bus through the city, starting at the end of 2018. The bus will stop in different neighborhoods on voting rights and European citizenship in general.
  • Creation of a consultative committee composed of European citizens, the Paris Council of Europeans.
  • 24 citizens workshops over these two years;
  • 24 happenings by the Jeunes Européens during local events linked to Europe (Europe Day, Forum of associations, Forum for volunteering and NGO engagement…)
  • Based on spontaneous suggestions,  organise an event about Europe together with the INCLUDE team.
  • Identify, with Paris citizens, obstacles to European citizenship. To help us, you can answer the survey here (in French only);
