MEET European Education Trust
Who we are
We are a group of ordinary European citizens who have joined together (MEET) to take advantage of an important new initiative set up by the Lisbon Treaty – the Citizens' Initiative.
The European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) will provide a unique opportunity to enable citizens, for the first time, to request action on a specific issue in the form of a petition to the Commission.
MEET submitted its proposal on 9 May 2012 - Europe Day!
As soon as the European Commission approves this initiative, the collection of signatures from citizens all over Europe will start in order to reach the 1 million-threshold within one year.
Work has already started to prepare for the collection of signatures: join our campaign team and/or become a pledge partner if you want to help us make A High Quality European Education for All a reality! Don’t forget to sign up on this website to stay informed about the official start of the ECI campaign.
What we stand for
We want to provide a means for a wide variety of associations - active in the fields of education, research and training, as well as those active in intercultural dialogue, social cohesion issues and the European dimension (which is fundamental to our project) - to come together with one common purpose and a very concrete goal of getting one million signatures to hand in to the Commission.
Why?
We believe it is time for a new educational paradigm aimed at building a Europe from the ground up and providing equal access to all its citizens who request it, the possibility to study and learn in a truly multi-cultural and European environment.
MEET is currently reaching out to all associations and networks, including parents, who may wish to be part or partner of such an exciting initiative.
How?
WE NEED TO RAISE 1 MILLION SIGNATURES ACROSS EUROPE!
Get Involved!
TOGETHER WE CAN RAISE THE MILLION SIGNATURES ACROSS EUROPE
