Discussion was passionate and varied. The Citizens Pact, which should agree on a common set of demands in time for the next European Parliamentary Elections in 2014, intends to voice the citizens\u2019 visions and priorities of how Europe should be, and their concerns particularly \u00a0in relation to social justice issues, employment and fundamental rights as well as the institutional structure of the EU.The <strong>Citizens Pact<\/strong> is wished to move in a different direction to any European inter-governmental Treaty. The Pact aims indeed at being at the same time <strong>a pact of cooperation and solidarity between European Citizens <\/strong>(and migrants with residency in Europe) and a pact between citizens and some institutions ready to back our demands.Its mandate is also<strong> to <a href=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/2012\/towards-a-transnational-democracy-for-europe-launch-of-a-citizen-pact\/\">open a \u2018third space\u2019 in which citizens can engage with Europe<\/a><\/strong>: neither accepting the current logic of austerity, nor accepting the flat refusal of all European aspiration to a Union or integration. Thus, providing European citizens with a concrete opportunity to exercise their citizenship and articulate their priorities or alternatives at a European level.<\/p>\n<p>Any organisations representing European citizens and individuals are welcome to work together towards the Citizens Pact in a <strong>variety of ways <\/strong>which may include:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Taking part in organising the series of <a href=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/ppp2012\/\">citizens\u2019 deliberations<\/a> convened by European Alternatives in Italy, Bulgaria, France, Spain, Romania, the UK, Germany and Slovakia over 2013<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Organising public meetings and deliberations around themes relating to the Citizens\u2019 Pact (we mentioned initiatives in Bologna, Venice, Florence, Lodz)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Organising public activities which are not conferences but include more creative approaches (including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transeuropafestival.eu\/\">TRANSEUROPA festival<\/a> in October 2013)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0A shared campaign to sign European Citizens\u2019 Initiatives over 2013<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supporting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.altersummit.eu\/\">AlterSummit<\/a> process, the mobilisations planned for the 14\/15<sup>th<\/sup> March and the AlterSummit to be held in Athens in June 2013, and introducing the Citizens\u2019 Pact for Democracy into the concerns of the AlterSummit<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Producing a <a href=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/images\/article_uploads\/Towards a Citizens Pact for European Democracy.pdf\">citizens\u2019 manifesto<\/a> for the European elections in 2014, and using it to put pressure on political groupings and individual candidates and MEPs<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Contributing to a Charter for European Citizenship<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using an online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wikiconstitution.eu\/\">wiki-constitution<\/a> and other online platforms for discussion<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Contributing to the policy recommendations to be formulated by the <a href=\"http:\/\/ey2013-alliance.eu\/\">Civil Society Alliance for the European Year of Citizens<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Engaging in calling for a Constitutional Convention and in putting forward proposals for how such a Convention should include and involve citizens<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Conducting surveys of public opinion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>If you are interested in joining <\/strong>in these or any other way, get in contact with us at <a href=\"mailto:press@euroalter.com\">press@euroalter.com<\/a> or simply start using the <a href=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/2013\/the-citizens-pact-has-a-logo\/\">logo <\/a>and the banner \u201cCitizens Pact For European Democracy\u201d or common twitter hashtags.
