WP1 – Launching Conference for Europe ReDefined (Online)

The project begins with the official launch event held online, which establishes the overall management, coordination, communication, monitoring, and quality assurance framework for the consortium.

The FUTURENTITY Seminar-Lab Circle I took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, as part of the project’s first thematic pillar, “Digital Identity & Belonging.” Under the theme “AI & Identity on Citizens’ Knowledge,” the Seminar-Lab combined introductory learning with participatory and creative activities. Participants reflected on the question “What Does It Mean to Belong in Europe?” and discussed how digital technologies are changing the way people communicate, express their identity, access information, and participate in their communities.

Through civic input activities, collaborative mapping, personal storytelling, small-group dialogue, creative exercises, and the Citizen Voice Roundtable, participants shared experiences and perspectives on AI, inclusion, identity, and European belonging. The creative session “The Europe We Belong To” allowed participants to express their visions of a future Europe shaped by artificial intelligence while keeping citizens, rights, diversity, and human connection at its centre.

The discussions also provided an opportunity to identify challenges related to digital inclusion and to reflect on how technology can support, rather than limit, meaningful civic participation. The experiences, testimonies, ideas, and citizen perspectives gathered during WP2 will contribute to the wider FUTURENTITY process, supporting its ambition to strengthen human-centred, rights-based, and participatory digital citizenship across Europe.

Citizens debate transparency, accountability, democratic participation, and the impact of AI on democratic institutions and fundamental rights.

Stakeholders exchange good practices and develop citizen-driven recommendations for more inclusive digital participation and governance.

Citizens collaboratively imagine future scenarios for European digital society through participatory learning, creativity, and intercultural dialogue.

Participants discuss emerging democratic challenges related to artificial intelligence, digital participation, and civic engagement while strengthening critical thinking.

A transnational online consultation gathers citizens from across Europe to refine policy proposals, exchange experiences, and strengthen collective recommendations.

The third seminar cycle deepens discussions on European identity, social cohesion, inclusion, and digital belonging in increasingly connected societies.

Citizens examine digital rights, representation, ethical AI, accountability, and democratic responsibility in the digital public sphere.

The final consultation transforms citizens’ experiences into practical recommendations supporting inclusive digital governance and stronger protection of digital rights.

The Digital Townhall brings together citizens, civil society organisations, public authorities, and digital experts in an interactive European forum dedicated to strengthening digital communities. Through collaborative discussions, campaign activities, and citizen-led dialogue, participants explore how neighbourhood-level initiatives can promote digital inclusion, democratic participation, and a stronger sense of European digital citizenship. The event also serves as a platform to present project achievements, exchange experiences, and inspire future civic engagement across Europe.

The project concludes with a Citizens’ Assembly that gathers participants from all partner countries to reflect on the project’s outcomes and collectively shape recommendations for Europe’s digital future. Using an assembly-style participatory format, citizens, policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders co-design visions for a human-centred digital Europe, consolidate the project’s policy recommendations, and celebrate the collaborative journey towards more inclusive, democratic, and rights-based digital citizenship. This final event ensures that citizens’ voices become part of the ongoing conversation on Europe’s digital transformation.
