External developments have direct consequences for our domestic situation — it is our task to protect the interest of European citizens.

The EPP is the biggest and most influential European political family. The EPP currently includes 81 parties and partners.
EPP parties and partners are from 43 countries. Our guiding motivation will be how we can improve the life of each of our citizens, wherever they live in our Union. It is because we believe in Europe that we want to Renew it! In contrast to those who seek to roll back rights and divide our communities, expanding rights and freedoms will be at the heart of all our actions. We will protect and seek to further European liberal democratic values, the rule of law and fundamental rights.
We will counter the destructive efforts of populists from all sides of the political spectrum and extreme nationalists. Renew Europe calls for an EU based rule of law monitoring mechanism.
We will fight intolerance and continue to promote equality and non-discrimination on all grounds, though our Simone Veil Pact and Equality Strategy, building a brighter future for young people. We believe European citizens must be central to the debate, in particular through an ambitious Conference for the Future of Europe. We will take responsibility for future generations, where some doubt the imperative to act and others spread fear, by preserving the environment, improving public health and building a sustainable economy.
Idea Challenge What is new in Civic Europe? Idea Challenge. Among the winning projects of the Idea Challenge , several focus on youth empowerment in their activities. We want to share three different project ideas that are empowering youth in different contexts.
Capacity Building. This exercise cannot just duplicate or replace existing legislative and policy-making processes but needs to complement them by offering a tool for true accountable citizen participation and dialogue with the institutions. The Conference should reinforce European democracy and pave the way for a comprehensive electoral law reform.
The Conference should aim to strengthen parliamentarianism and representative democracy at the European level, at the same time engaging citizens and providing them with an avenue to have their voice heard.
The structure The European Parliament , as the only EU institution directly elected by the citizens, should be at the core of the process of organising the Conference, with a strong representation of all the political groups of the European Parliament and national parliaments.
The Conference needs to be supported by the European Commission and the Council and with the participation of representatives of the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of Regions. National Governments and National Parliaments should also have a strong role both by being represented in the Conference and by bringing the Conference to the national level.
Regional and local governments , who often operate closest to the citizens, must be equally engaged to ensure the success of the Conference. Organised civil society and Social Partners should be intimately involved in the governance, delivery and follow-up of the Conference, as equal partners of the institutions.
The networks and know-how that the biggest representative networks can bring to the Conference are invaluable. The European Parliament, in particular the AFCO Committee, should stand up for the involvement of civil society, Social Partners, and democratic associations in the Conference, as facilitators of the process. By utilising the influence of civil society networks, Social Partners, and local and regional governments, in their respective constituencies, the Conference can reach a wider audience.
At a time when influence does not depend just on authority but also on trust, we need to utilise these trusted messengers if we want to go beyond our silos.
