The Second European Estates General
The first European Estates General (EEG) were held in Lille last year. Following the success of the event, EuropaNova, the Mouvement Européen France and Notre Europe are organising, the second edition of the EEG on 21st June 2008 in Lyon, with the active support of the European Parliament and the European Commission.
The second edition takes place in a period that is particularly favourable to debates on key European issues:
- The EEG will mark the unofficial start of the French Presidency starting on 1 July and demonstrate civil society’s active involvement;
- The EEG will also mark the 50th anniversary of the European Parliament, and
- the beginning of the electoral campaign for the European Parliament elections in June 2009.
Over a single day, the EEG will include two types of activities:
- A large conference formed by two plenary meetings and 18 workshops (three sessions of at least five workshops each, organised simultaneously) designed to ensure lively debates as well as a balance between sex and age groups, political orientations and nationalities (at least one non French speaker per workshop).
- More entertaining activities such as a literary café, an associative village, a simulation of a parliamentary debate co-organised with the European Youth Parliament, a football match, games for children etc.
