Meeting: Vitalizing the Network

Three years ago, Citizens of Europe had decided to change: We wanted to be more active, put our main focus clearly outside of the youth sector, and do projects all over Europe. We succeeded. We increased our activities dramatically, built efficient partnerships with other organisations and institutions and more than tripled our financial turnover. However, this strategy of investing all our limited resources into activities had its price: Citizens of Europe did not actively develop its own network. Today, more people willing to realise projects and initiatives could benefit from our well-established organisation. Citizens of Europe can also provide access to interesting people and organisations in different parts of our continent. How can we make Citizens of Europe become a vibrant network? How can we realise a high degree of personal benefit for everybody involved? How can we become more open and attractive? How can we further improve cooperation with our partners? These are the main topics to be addressed by this year’s Spring Citizens Weekend.
