| Short abstract: | The European Citizens’ Panel is a pilot bottom-up initiative organised and supported by more than 40 partners, which encourages citizens from ten different regions of Europe to have a voice in the policies that affect rural areas. After having produced a first range of results in their regional citizens’ panels, a selection of these citizens worked together from March 30 to April 1st 2007 in a European Panel during which they deliberated, put their regional recommendations in perspective, formulated policy recommendations and created a new common vision for the future of rural Europe. |
