The EU macro-regional strategy is a relatively new policy-making framework covering the Baltic Sea, the Danube, the Adriatic-Ionian and Alpine regions. It serves as an interface between the EU and local level policy developments.
The European Commission prepares biennial reports on the implementation of macro-regional strategies. The latest one covers the 2018-2020 period and has all the characteristic features of an EU document.
Our ’Shadow Report’ project brings together nine civil society organisations covering the four macro-regions. BISER is one of the project partners, representing the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. Their joint work is NOT a political analysis of the Commission’s paper but rather a demonstration of the benefits of citizens’ involvement in shaping and implementing a non-conventional document with stimulating insights and concrete recommendations. This is where we need your input!
HAVE YOUR SAY AND SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE!
We are in the midst of elaborating our Shadow Report. We identified 10 topics to be covered by our paper and have 5 questions per topic. For each topic please choose one question out of the five that you find most interesting/relevant for you and send your answers back to us. Our Report will be based on the answers received and finetuned with in-person meetings with citizens in public places in Mariager (DK), Szentendre (HU), Ljubljana (SI) and Palermo (IT) during the summer period.
As an illustration and encouragement have a look at some of the answers respondents already sent in.
Please send your opinion, comments to feed our Shadow Report.
Looking forward to receiving your opinion, personal story, proposal or any other form of your input by 30 March 2021.
The project is co-funded by the Europe for Citizens Programme of the European Union.
