Launch of the "LKT" Eurometropolis’s European Citizens’ Space
June 2022
At the invitation of the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropolis Agency, the MOT went to Tournai on 25 May 2022 to take part in the launch of the first “European Citizens’ Space”.
Designed in a 100% cross-border spirit, this initiative brings together ten Walloon, ten Flemish and ten French citizens, all selected at random, as well as ten representatives from European institutions, MEPs, think tanks, etc.
A logical follow-up to the three consultations "Europe : Je t'aime... Moi non plus ?" organised by the Eurometropolis between 2018 and 2019, this first meeting put ecology at the heart of the discussions.
These discussions, which were facilitated using collective intelligence methods, focused on the ecological future of the Eurometropolis territory: air quality, territorial food supply plans, public transport, raising the awareness of the youngest citizens of ecological issues, food, and so on.
With this initiative, the Eurometropolis Agency is hoping to succeed in building, together with motivated citizens, a permanent forum for dialogue capable of raising issues and making concrete proposals to be submitted to the highest European bodies.
