European Alternatives' approach to transnational citizen consultation: People, Power, Participation
Throughout 2011, European Alternatives will manage a large-scale transeuropean project that will bring together thousands of citizens across Europe to discuss common actions to fight for their civil rights, as expressed in the EU’s Stockholm Programme and Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The Stockholm Programme
The Stockholm Programme is the five-year plan proposed by the European Council and adopted by the European Commission relating to the Justice and Home Affairs acquis for the 2010-2014 period. This document, developed under the Swedish Presidency of the European Council in 2009, addresses new forms of cooperation and integration in the areas of freedom, security and justice in the European Union.
European Alternative's selection of key themes relating to the Stockholm Programme
Among the long list of priorities identified in the Stockholm Programme, European Alternatives finds some issues of particular interest and relevance to its work. We have therefore identified six themes that we intend to focus on through this project:
- Migration and common asylum policy
- The rights of same-sex and cohabitating couples
- Freedom of expression and information
- Legality and the rule of law
- Labour rights
- Roma Rights
