The project gather citizens from different backgrounds, in activities directly linked to Union policies, with a view to giving them an opportunity to concretely participate in the shaping of the Union's political agenda. To that end, those projects will invite citizens to act together or debate the multi-annual priorities themes of the programme at local and European level. Projects   involve a large number of citizens, and aim at setting the basis for, or encouraging the development of, long-lasting networking between organisations active in the field.
