EU engage

The overall aim of this project is to engage Irish civil society, and by extension the thousands of communities they represent, as active European citizens.

This will be achieved through:

• Developing new website content to reflect the new EU programmes and policy under the 2021 – 2027 multi-annual financial framework, so that Irish communities have the information they need to understand and engage in EU policy,
• A series of podcasts with Irish MEPs so that communities throughout Ireland can connect with their elected representatives in the EU and learn about their stance on issues relevant to civil society,
• An “Engaging with Europe” session at The Wheel’s annual summit that will showcase opportunities and challenge participants to identify what they could achieve through engagement in Europe.
• The above activities will be underpinned by a communications campaign that will ensure information about our web content, podcasts, and events reaches the people who can benefit most from engaging in it.
