General resources on trust

Other relevant websites are the Europe for Citizens Programme, and the DG Education and Culture website.

ECIT’s Point of View
ECIT’s work focuses on how to make participatory and deliberative processes a pillar of EU decision-making. A European law should be proposed. The need for a simpler, less technocratic regime for European Citizens’ Initiatives (ECIs) is urgent. The Guidelines call for elections to the European Parliament to become more European by introducing transnational party lists. But reforming what exists and innovating are not enough. There should be a right to European citizenship education and to participate in a European life-long learning programme.
