Introduction The Conference on the Future of Europe is well on its way – the debate has started! On 10 March 2021, the Joint Declaration on the Conference on the Future of Europe was signed by European Parliament President David Sassoli, Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa, on behalf of the Presidency of the EU Council, and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, paving the way for this unprecedented, open and inclusive European democratic exercise which places citizens at its very heart. Just two weeks later the Executive Board, which includes representatives from the three EU institutions and observers, and oversees the organisation of the Conference, held its first meeting. The Common Secretariat that assists the Executive Board also took up its work. From left to right: Signature of the Joint Declaration by Portuguese Prime Minister Costa, European Parliament President Sassoli and Commission President von der Leyen A first important milestone was the launch of the Multilingual Digital Platform of the Conference on 19 April 2021. Citizens from across Europe now have the possibility to share their ideas about the future of Europe on this platform, as well as information on Conference events. The inaugural event of the Conference took place on 9 May 2021 in the European Parliament’s premises in Strasbourg, in a hybrid format. French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the participants of this event, who included members of the Executive Board, Ministers or State Secretaries responsible for European Affairs, Members of the European Parliament and national Parliaments, Erasmus students from across the EU and over 500 citizens. The Presidents of the three EU institutions had the opportunity to outline their vision for Europe. Citizens from across EU Member States could ask questions to the three Co-Chairs of the Executive Board: Member of the European Parliament Guy Verhofstadt, Secretary of State Ana Paula Zacarias for the Council Presidency and Commission Vice-President Dubravka Šuica. From left to right: Commission President von der Leyen, European Parliament President Sassoli, Portuguese Prime Minister Costa and French President Macron at the inaugural event of the Conference Ahead of this event, the Executive Board endorsed the Rules of Procedure of the Conference, which provide a comprehensive framework for the work of the different Conference structures and their interaction. II. Activities at the European level II.1. Multilingual Digital Platform Since 19 April 2021, citizens from across Europe have the possibility to provide their views on the future of Europe on the Multilingual Digital Platform of the Conference (https://futureu.europa.eu/)1. This platform is a key component of the Conference; it gives everyone the chance to participate. Citizens can put forward their ideas, endorse other people's ideas and comment on them. It is also the place where everyone can share information on Conference events and report on their outcomes. The platform is fully multilingual: all contributions are available in the EU 24 official languages thanks to machine translation. Since the launch of the platform, nearly 19.000 participants have registered on it. They have shared more than 5.000 ideas and over 10.000 comments, and endorsed other people’s ideas over 29.000 times. Close to 1 million people have just visited the platform. State of participation on 5 July (source: futureu.europa.eu) Almost 1.400 events all over Europe have been announced on the platform, allowing as many people as possible to participate. Guides and campaign materials have been made available on the platform for the organisers, helping to ensure that the events are interactive and inclusive. 1 See also video presenting the Multilingual Digital Platform This is a good start, but many more citizens should be reached to have a real debate on a European scale. Promoting the platform and broad citizen participation should therefore be a top priority for everyone interested to contribute to the success of the Conference. The platform should be a space where citizens from every walk of life and all corners of Europe feel comfortable and welcome to contribute to the debate. Everyone using the platform must therefore commit to the Conference Charter and respect the rules of participation. A moderation team has been put in place and is working under the supervision of the Common Secretariat on behalf of the Executive Board to ensure that this is the case. The platform is where the debate starts but it does not end here. Contributions on the platform will be taken into account by the European and national Citizens’ Panels and debated in the Conference Plenary. Reports will be drawn up and include an analysis of the contributions, made with a combination of digital tools, data mining and human analysis. These reports will also be available on the Multilingual Digital Platform itself. A first interim report will become available after the summer. II.2. 17 June European Citizens’ event On 17 June 2021, a first European Citizens’ event took place in Lisbon in a hybrid format, ahead of the inaugural Plenary of 19 June, to kick off the citizens’ participation in the Conference. It brought together the 27 representatives of national citizens’ panels or events of each Member State, the President of the European Youth Forum and more than 50 citizens selected to participate in the European Citizens’ Panels of the Conference, as well as a group of Erasmus students. The event gave the participants an opportunity to discuss their expectations for the Conference with the three Co-Chairs of the Executive Board: Member of the European Parliament Guy Verhofstadt, Secretary of State Ana Paula Zacarias and Commission Vice-President Dubravka Šuica. The other members of the Executive Board were invited to join remotely. The event was publicly broadcasted on the Multilingual Digital Platform and on Europe By Satellite. European Citizens’ event, Lisbon In their welcoming words, the Co-Chairs highlighted that it was essential to kick-start the Conference activities with a citizens’ event, since citizens are at the core of the Conference. They also stressed the need to listen to people, to engage actively with them and to narrow the gap between citizens and policy-makers. Citizens were then invited to share, via an interactive polling system, what word they associate with the EU today. The words that came up the most were “solidarity”, “unity” and “cooperation”. Co-Chair Zacarias outlined the different types of national events within the framework of the Conference, stressing the need to reach out to all citizens and involve civil society. Co-Chair Šuica then presented the Multilingual Digital Platform and encouraged citizens to use it to share their ideas. Co-Chair Verhofstadt informed participants on the role of the Conference Plenary and its interaction with the European Citizens’ Panels. During the discussion, several citizens mentioned that education and health should be a priority and underlined the need to tackle the challenges of climate change and migration. Some insisted that the dialogue with citizens should take place on an equal footing and that true engagement with citizens was key including with those more sceptical

  • Conference on the Future of Europe
    BRIEFING Conference on the Future of Europe SUMMARY After many debates and statements of principle in recent years, the time for a more structured discussion on the future of Europe's development has arrived. The Conference on the Future of Europe, announced by the Commission's President Ursula von der Leyen in her inaugural address, is set to start after a long period of standstill owing not only to changed priorities brought by the coronavirus pandemic, but also to lengthy negotiations among the institutions. The aim of the conference is to debate how the EU should develop in the future, identify where it is rising to the challenges of current times, and enhance those areas that need reform or strengthening. A key aspect of this initiative is to bring the public closer to the EU institutions, listen to people's concerns, involve them directly in the process of the Conference and provide an adequate and meaningful response. In this respect, the ambition is to set up pan-European forums for discussion, for the first time ever, where citizens of all Member States can debate the EU's priorities and make recommendations, to be taken into account by the political-institutional powers that be and, ideally, translated into practical measures. The pandemic hit as the preparation of the conference was just beginning and inevitably caused a delay. In March 2021, the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission agreed on a joint declaration, laying down the common rules and principles governing the conference. It was agreed that the leadership of the conference would be shared by the three institutions, with the conference chaired jointly by their three presidents.

  • Things We See: Portuguese Anthropology on Material Culture Filomena Silvano
    etnográfica outubro de 2010 14 (3): 497-505 Things we see: Portuguese anthropology on material culture Filomena Silvano CRIA / FCSH-UNL (Portugal) A FEW DAYS AGO, ON A CONVErsatiON WITH A YOUNG STUDENT who wanted to do research on Portuguese cinema and popular c ulture objects, João Leal was explaining to her that to question ourselves about what is put on display is as important as to search for what is concealed. In Portugal, thinking about the path taken by material culture studies over the last three decades should precisely call upon the formulation of such a double interrogation. When Ana Paula Zacarias and I took off to Trás-os-Montes in 1982 – both of us prepared for the “fieldwork” with all the excitement and ignorance of our twenties –, I kept deep in my mind some of those marvellous drawings of objects from the Portuguese rural world executed by Fernando Galhano for the research work carried out by Jorge Dias, Ernesto Veiga de Oliveira and Benjamim Pereira at the Centro de Estudos de Etnologia (Ethnology Studies Centre) and the Museu Nacional de Etnologia (National Museum of ­Ethnology). Up until then, Portuguese anthropology – both in its Estado Novo ethnographic version1 and through the works led by Jorge Dias, who had tried to draw a more articulated dialogue with foreign scientific literature (Leal 2000, 2006) – had awarded a particular significance to material culture and, by consequence, our academic training had provided us with an appetite we 1 The Portuguese World Exhibition, which took place in 1940, was the most representative moment of the way Estado Novo’s ethnography used the objects from folk culture to think about the nation as a whole.
