Parlons d’Europe en Région is a French series of
debates set up by the Europe Direct Information Centres with the support of the European Committee of the Regions
in the framework of the Reflecting on Europe campaign and of the
European Commission.
The initiative has several objectives: to bring Europe
closer to the citizens with a participatory method; to allow citizens to
discuss with European leaders and to get answers to their concerns; and to allow
the citizens to debate about the Future of Europe.
In 2016, 13
debates have been organised in France (9 supported by the CoR). As the results were encouraging and very positive, 7
debates will be organised during the second half of 2017.
