EDC-UNILU celebrates Europe Day alongside the European Citizen’s Initiative

Behind every initiative, there’s a conversation that started somewhere.

This Europe Day, 9 May 2026, discover how citizens across the EU are turning local issues into real conversations at the EU level – from protecting animals and the environment to shaping the future of digital rights and mental health.

The ECI provides a unique way for citizens to raise issues, foster dialogue, and connect local concerns with EU policymaking. It is a key channel for participation and engagement across the EU.
