Europe is now a crossroad and needs to decide how to tackle the challenges of today: the impact of the new technologies on society and jobs, the climate change, migration and security concern, the raise of populism.
These are the difficult times but Europe has always been able to adapt it. The \u201cCitizens\u2019 Forums for Eunited Europe\u201d project come to support all EU initiatives in the next 5 years, aiming to respond better to the changing reality and to transform challenges into opportunities.
Our objective is to summarize the progress made in 6 Member States (Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, Germany, Spain and Italy) on the White Paper on the Future of Europe, launched by EC in 2017, to analyse the strengths and weaknesses in the local\/regional policies and develop Citizen\u2019s Europe e-Paper, focusing on the new opportunities for better Europe future, suggested by citizens from 6 countries.
The project will directly involved 620 citizens in forums, debates and solidarity acts on the EU challenges, treating a special topic in each country: Competitive Europe in Poland, Migration and Security in Greece, Demography and Society in Spain, EU communication in Italy, Digitalisation in Germany, Climate Change and Environment in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The central topic of the forum was digitalisation in the European Union. The international partners presented various digitisation processes in their countries of origin. The fields of application discussed were, for example, public and municipal administration, the health system, the education system, agriculture and the economy.

    SZREDA has organised a second local event in Stara Zagora involving young people from different backgrounds. This one attracted 60 participants. The discussions were on the topic of digitalisation and the digital reform that is part of our daily activities.<\/p>\n

    The city of Stara Zagora has been trying to become a digital hub in Bulgaria, where through education investments will be attracted for starting innovative companies in the IT sector. There is a clear will from local community and stakeholders to develop an ecosystem giving young people the opportunity to stay in Stara Zagora and to start a specialised education as early as high school and continue to the local Trakia University to obtain a Bachelor degree. This creates opportunities for young people to follow a career path in the IT sector. At the same time, it is an opportunity to keep young people in the area and to even attract others from different parts of the country.<\/p>\n

          Local event in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

          The final event of the project eUnited was held in Stara Zagora. It involved 15 Bulgarian participants, and the main topic of discussion was climate a change and youth involvement.<\/p>\n

          As a focal point of discussion were taken the conclusions and suggestions drawn in the final international event \u2013 the Conference in Bulgaria on 1st<\/sup> of July. A special attention was drawn on different tools that could be used by young people to share their opinion and to seek likeminded people among their peers. The most largely known initiatives on EU level have been promoted, including the European Solidarity Corps among others.<\/p>\n

          Some of the young people shared their ideas on how they could change the narrative. Some of the suggestions were for a guided training on the importance of water, an independent pool of young climate journalists, etc.<\/p>\n
