Verena Ringler in her article “Einen Bürgerkommissar für die EU, bitte!” strongly argues for a Citizen´s Commissioner in order to represent the citizens with the institutions of the European Union and to give an institutional framework for all the different civil-society activities happening across Europe. On November 8th, the initiative “Cities for Europe”, in cooperation with A Soul for Europe, Wir sind Europa and other civil society initiatives, organizes a cooperation meeting in Berlin. Together with representatives of European cities and stakeholders of civil society and culture, we will discuss the impact of the political power of European citizens, the tasks of a European-oriented local policy as well as challenges of a Europe from the “bottom up”. This online debate brings together voices of various actors from politics, civil society and culture that will play a role during the November event. For all those who cannot attend but want their voice to be heard, for those who would like to prepare their attendance by reading what others think and for those who — like us — believe that the topic deserves much more attention than two session days can achieve.
