The UK Office of the European Parliament is attending the CIVITAS National Sixth Form EU Conference.

The global economic recession that is sweeping across the globe calls for global solutions, and the European Parliament could be the forum to discuss what the world’s biggest economic zone might do to find a way out of the current economic meltdown. How can the European Parliament channel the citizens’ demand for political action? What is the connection between what the EP does and the everyday lives of Europeans? What can be done to increase political participation in the next European elections?

2009 is a big year for the EU, with a new Parliament and new Commission, and possibly some progress with the stalled Treaty of Lisbon. All will have implications for EU information providers, and the conference will in part allow us to share ideas about how to respond. We’ll also be catching up on developments in the official networks and highlighting developments in EU information sources.
