In this workshop, we aim to begin by providing participants with an overview of the key EU institutions and their roles: How is power distributed amongst the various institutions? Who actually governs the EU? Is it even possible to give a clear answer to this question? And if not, what does that mean for the EU’s democratic legitimacy? In a second step, we will then put forward the idea of developing the EU into a European federal state for discussion. Could this model be a vision for the future of the European project and contribute to the emergence of a genuine European democracy?
Using artificial intelligence as an example, we want to discuss how future challenges can be tackled at EU level. How can citizens have a say in Europe?
The workshop is being held in cooperation with the Berlaymont Project of JEF Hessen.
