About the event
To address these pressing concerns, Civil Society Week 2025 will gather a diverse range of civil society stakeholders from Europe and beyond, providing a unique platform to engage in critical debates, share best practices, and collaborate to develop solutions that foster social cohesion and strengthen democratic engagement.
Together with experts, EU policy-makers, national Economic and Social Councils, youth representatives, journalists, and civil society across Europe including candidate countries, we will host a four-day forum for lively debates and collaborative workshops, focusing on questions such as:
How could a European Civil Society Strategy foster greater cohesion?
How could participatory approaches drive cohesion and inspire collective action for Europe’s green and blue future?
How could Europe lead in innovation while upholding its values, principles, and ethical standards?
What policies are needed to enable capacity-building and funding for European civil society?
