The platform consists of three different sections:

  1. ‘Attend an event near you’ – enabling people to see and join upcoming events throughout the EU
  2. ‘Share your ideas’ – enabling people to share their ideas around the areas of
    1. Climate change and environment
    2. Health
    3. A stronger economy, social justice and jobs
    4. The EU in the world
    5. Values and rights, rule of law, and security
    6. Digital transformation
    7. European democracy
    8. Migration
    9. Education, culture, youth and sport
    10. Other ideas.
  3. ‘Organise an event’ – enabling people to organise an event in the abovementioned areas

Social Platform looks forward to engaging in the Conference on the Future of Europe. The active involvement of organised civil society organisations like Social Platform and its pan-European member networks is key in making the entire process a success and to ensure that the voices of people in all their diversity are heard. Civil society organisations represent the interests of all people, including those who are in the most vulnerable situations and underrepresented in policy-making. They also represent social economy actors and not-for-profit social service providers, who support millions of people in their day-to-day lives. Civil society organisations can therefore contribute crucial expertise to ensure that policies and legislation correspond to the lived realities of people, including those in the most vulnerable situations who, otherwise, are often not reached by mainstream policies.
