„A citizens' charter as the 2024/25 Assembly's output“ pakeitimai

As part of the Democratic Odyssey’s Assembly, you are asked to present at the end of process:

A Citizens’ Charter for “how can we help steer the ship and become effective change makers?”

In light of this, we would like to ask:

• what is a Citizens' Charter, in your view?
• Is it anticipatory (anticipating crises) or reactive?
• Is it an emergency kit in times of crises, that governments and the EU can activate?
• Does it provide a prescription for how we protect democracy from crises?
• Or is it an appeal, a call to action?
• Which actors should it target?
• Does it pragmatically call on citizens engagement in times of crises?
• Is it a binding contract with policy-makers, businesses, civil society actors and others? Who does it address?
• Does it talk about different levels of governance (European, national, local)?

Please share your opinions as to what would the Citizens' Charter look like in your view - the Assembly will be asked to take it in and build on it throughout the Assembly process, all the way to the final session in Vienna (23-25 May 2025).
