Wird die EU in Zukunft demokratischer und bürgernäher?

Referieren wird u.a. Dr. Dr. Dietmar Görgmaier, Leiter des Europäischen Informationszentrums der Thüringer Staatskanzlei. Nebenbei möchte der Veranstalter auch mit der Vorstellung von Organisationen wie den “JEFs” (Junge Europäische Föderalisten) und Culture Goes Europe aus Erfurt Beispiele für Beteiligung in Europa aufzeigen.
