CEPS in collaboration with EMA RTV of Spain, Radio Popolare of Italy and ERT of Greece invites you to our interactive webinar on “Debating and Communicating European Cohesion to Citizens – The case of Southern Europe”
30 September 2020 – Time 10:00 am to 11:15 am CEST
This short interactive event presents the lessons learnt from a number of radio programmes in Spain, Italy and Greece, which discussed the EU Cohesion Policy with a focus on addressing the concerns of citizens. This initiative was carried out in the form of dialogues with experts, the press and the public. This was done under the umbrella of the project Radio Agora supported by the European Commission’s Regional and Urban Policy Directorate General. The objective of Radio Agora was to inform citizens and improve their knowledge of the EU Cohesion Policy through radio debates. The Radio Agora experience offers many insights on the concerns of citizens and their understanding of these EU policies. The lessons are highly relevant to the present situation, when the European Union is providing large rescue packages to counteract the impact of COVID-19, in addition to the normal EU policies supporting cohesion.
