OUR WORLD TO INHERIT" - XV JUBILEE - CRISIS MANAGEMENT - TWINNING MEETING (VILAGOROK)
Dates of the 5-day meeting: 4 - 8 October 2023.
The immediate outcome - in line with our objectives - will be a critique of the 5 objectives of the Next Generation EU Plan - measures taken to mitigate the crisis in the light of the crisis situation that has occurred:
- "Smarter Europe", aimed at economic growth and modernisation of enterprises
- energy efficiency, use of renewable energies, adaptation to climate change, transition to a circular economy - a greener, low-carbon Europe"
- protecting the environment and ensuring transport safety by developing sustainable trans-European and urban mobility - "A better connected Europe"
- a "More Social Europe", promoting the inclusion of disadvantaged regions
- a "Europe closer to the citizen" through integrated social, economic, cultural and environmental development
Our debates on the future of Europe have sought to answer the question: have the measures eased or deepened the crisis?
Getting as wide a range of opinions from across Europe as possible has led to direct involvement in shaping Europe's future. Representatives from Eastern and Western Europe, from the founding and pre-accession countries, came together to make common proposals and express their views.
The meeting was organised jointly by the municipalities of 10 municipalities in 8 countries, reaching 10 000 citizens who were to be reached indirectly. The diversity of the meeting was enriched by the involvement of civil society organisations and citizens' initiatives (NGOs), which are a good way to further broaden our range of partners.
Number of participating countries: 8 (6 countries supported: RO, SK, GR, PT, ES, IT; 2 countries not supported: SRB, HU).
Number of direct individual participants (= total number of participants in the event): 600

After years of a worsening crisis, our meeting was a successful exchange of views on the progress made and initiatives planned in each policy area. We also learned from the testimonies of the citizens who participated and engaged through social media how each Member State is making the vision they have shared a reality.
Agenda of the event:
T1.1 Arrival, Welcome, Day of Tolerance and Mutual Understanding
On 04/10/2023, the opening day of the TEST TALK - Tolerance and Mutual Understanding was the theme: 150 European citizens from our twin towns - from 6 countries - with the support of the CERV programme - attended, 50% of the delegation leaders, invited experts and decision-makers were young people. On the opening day, starting from the controversial allocation of EU resources, we presented good and bad examples and came to our proposals for the implementation of the objectives of a "Europe that is smarter and closer to its citizens", including criticism. We criticised the measures taken to alleviate the economic crisis for known reasons.
T1.2 "An economy for the people" - OPEN VITAPHORUM - REVOLUTION
05/10/2023 - i "The economy for the people" - EXCURSION TOUR TOPIC: We organised an excursion to showcase European efforts to develop SMEs and to examine the impact of EU policies on economic actors. The theme of the public debate was our social market economy, which means that people and businesses can only thrive if the economy works in their interests. We also debated how to deepen economic and monetary union and how to encourage reforms and investment to help member states grow. Country-specific economic measures: have they eased or deepened the crisis?

T1.5 "OUR EUROPEAN VALUES - OUR UNION" - Closing of the programme
08/10/2023 - i The last, final, evaluation day of the programme was a report on the extended knowledge. The most far-reaching theme, "a greener, low-carbon Europe", was addressed. The key message from the participants for all Europeans was that with COVID and the threat of war gone, we need to think again about long-term hazards. The climate crisis, climate change and environmental degradation are existential threats for all of us. We can only tackle these challenges together. This is one of the reasons why active participation in EU policy-making has become particularly important.
