Ambassadeurs van het Europees burgerinitiatief

De ambassadeurs van het Europees burgerinitiatief promoten de mogelijkheden van het Europees burgerinitiatief, stimuleren het debat en maken burgers mondiger zodat ze kunnen opkomen voor wat zij belangrijk vinden.

Al komen ze uit de meest uiteenlopende organisaties op Europees, nationaal of regionaal niveau, ze hebben wel iets met elkaar gemeen: allemaal zijn ze expert in participatieve democratie en allemaal willen ze de burger meer bij het beleid betrekken.

Ontmoet de EBI-ambassadeurs op online- en offline-evenementen en volg hen op de sociale media!
