Goals / Remit
The mission of Europe’s People’s Forum (EPF) is strengthen European democracy and to ensure that EU policies are developed in active dialogue with the people they affect. Europe’s People’s Forum is a permanent platform that represents the structured voice of engaged citizens from all Member States.
Europe's People's Forum allows and encourages every single person among the 500 million people in EU’s 27 countries to voice their opinions and visions and to influence the European Union through the policy proposals that are put forward. It is a key purpose for the Forum to ensure that the people’s proposals gain a serious impact on the policies in Europe. To have such impact the proposals must be credible, substantiated and coherent in a societal context.
For this reason, Europe’s People’s Forum engages with partner organisations in all 27 countries to arrange national debates that focus on the specific thematic issues for debate that year. A Research Validation Panel will subsequently ensure that the final policy proposals presented by the representatives at the Europe’s People’s Forum are well documented. The ANNUAL process will culminate in the the large-scale highly publicized event organized annually by Europe's People’s Forum where hundreds of politicians and civil servants will discuss how to include the policy proposals in the decision-making process.
Finally, Europe's People's Forum aims to become a hub for information about other organisations engaged in enhancing citizens' participation in democracy.Main EU files targeted
EFP follows closely the Commission's and the Parlament's initiatives concerning citizen participation.
EPF is involved as a partner in a regional project within Slovenian EuropeanMovement and other organisations under EC’s Citizens Programme.
EPF currently follows the commitment of prominent member states politicians such as the French President to engage with citizens.
EPF has proposed the President of the European Commission to formalise a mechanism for taking into account the European citizens' policy proposals in the decision making process. Following his positive reply, we are preparing to discuss concrete pilot projects with EC.Address

As a newly established organization, European People’s Forum relies on volunteers because it only has access to limited personal donations so far. We intend to scale up the organization with an additional 7 employees once the pilot project funding is in place.
The initiative is supported by 18 former and present state, foreign and European affairs ministers from the member states.Person in charge of EU relations

Communication activities
EPF partners with the Slovenian European Movement and other organisations on the implementation of a project funded by the EC's Citizen's Programme which focuses on regional dialogue on the future of the EU.
On a bi-weekly basis, EPF distributes selected and commented think-tank articles on EU’s future policies on the themes which are relevant to EPF, on the future structure of the EU, and its future functions. The information is distributed via email, the organization website, twitter, and Facebook.
Similar channels are used to distribute fact sheets, discussion papers, and excerpts of high-level political speeches on EU’s future policies, structure, and institutions several times a week.Other activities
As a newly established organization, European People’s Forum is in contact with the European Commission at several levels and across various DGs.
European People’s Forum is also in contact with the presidency of the European Parliament to discuss concrete possibilities for engagement of citizens in political decision processes.
Meetings
Meetings
2 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
