Last weekend, the #DemocraticOdyssey came to an end.

300 participants from across Europe met in Athens, Florence, and Vienna to work on a Citizens’ Charter.

We’re ending the week with a snapshot from last weekend’s 10th European Citizens’ Panel.

The assembly brought together 150 Europeans,a third of them young people. They produced 22 recommendations on the next European budget.
