Universitat Rovira i Virgili

Vir­tual Citi­zen Dia­logue "The Making of Europe"

Online

The Virtual Citizen Dialogue invites students and the interested wider public to get first-hand insights into policy making within the European institutions, contrasted by different regional perspectives showcasing the diversity of European stakeholders and voices. It will be a forum where the abstract gets concrete, enabling to better understand how attitudes and beliefs are varying within (European) cultures and communities - and how this relates to and influences the making of Europe.

The Virtual Citizen Dialogue is part of the course "The Making of Europe", which is currently run by the Universität Innsbruck within the Aurora European University Alliance. With contributions from Brussels, North Rhine-Westphalia, Region Hauts-de-France and the Tyrol it brings a wide array of European perspectives to the virtual table. With welcome addresses from several European University Alliances of the contributing regions, the Virtual Citizen Dialogue also emphasizes the importance of European teaching and learning beyond institutional boundaries.
