Invitation: Civil Society Europe’s ‘Voices of Millions’ Campaign Launch
This event – organised by Civil Society Europe – will bring together EU institutional stakeholders and civil society actors to showcase and launch our campaign, Voices of Millions.
This campaign, which will run throughout part of 2026 and 2027, will raise awareness about the representative power of civil society organisations. It will showcase the relevance and added value of civil society at EU level when it comes to policy making, agenda setting, and implementation and monitoring of policies, as well as responding to societal needs.
