Several citizens’ summits funded by the Interreg VA EMR project “euPrevent COVID” will be organized in various border regions (Aachen, Düren, Eupen, Hasselt, Heinsberg, Liège and Maastricht). The goal of these citizens’ summits is to give the citizens living in border regions the opportunity to exchange their personal experiences during the corona time.
The citizens’ summits will take place on a Saturday morning and will last about three hours (09:30-12:30), which include an hour of general information and two hours of round table discussions. The small groups of discussions will be organized with the help of specially trained moderators. The citizens from different regions will be able to share their personal experiences and express their views in their own languages (Dutch, French and German respectively).
We are looking for about 25 citizens per summit. Therefore, the registration link will be closed once we have received enough registrations. The summits can take place either online or physically, depending on the national policies at the time of the event. This will be confirmed in a digital information leaflet two weeks before the actual event of the summit. Given the unforeseen circumstances, it will be useful for us to have your private address with the registration. However, the addresses will only be used for the purpose of the organization of the event, and not for any other purposes than the citizens’ summits.
