Free Webinar | EU Rights and European Citizenship 

OPEN CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS 

Free Webinar | EU Rights and European Citizenship 
European Project MOVES 

Are you a young person, an active citizen, working in a Municipality, or part of a local association? 
Would you like to better understand how your European rights work and how to actively participate in public decision-making? 

Join the first training webinar of the European project MOVES – Mountain Voices for Engaged and Sustainable Democracy, promoted by ANCI Lazio in collaboration with partners from Italy, Albania, and Portugal, with technical support from Norema Srl as subcontractor. 

Why participate? 

Many citizens, young people, and local administrators perceive European institutions as distant. 
In rural, mountain, and inland areas, this distance is often even stronger. 

Yet many European decisions directly affect: local services, mobility, environment, public funding, opportunities for young people, territorial development.

This webinar will help you understand how to move from being a simple recipient of policies to becoming an active citizen capable of making an impact. 

What you will learn 

During the webinar you will discover: 

✅ how European citizenship works 
✅ what your rights are as an EU citizen 
✅ how to participate in European decision-making through official tools 
✅ how to use tools such as: 

European Citizens’ Initiative  

Petitions to the European Parliament  

Have Your Say  

European Ombudsman  

✅ how to transform local needs into concrete actions
