The first meeting in 2017 of the European Dialogue Forum will take place in the European Parliament in Strasbourg from 18-19 January.
The European Dialogue Forum is a joint body of FUEN and YEN that seeks formalised, political dialogue with the European Parliament. The Forum was established in 2008 and is a body currently composed of seven representatives of FUEN and two representatives of YEN, including the two presidents. At the latest Assembly of Delegates, its members for the period of 2016-2019 were elected and at this week’s meeting the priorities, work structure and plans for the coming years will be discussed in Strasbourg.
The main aim of the European Dialogue Forum is to engage in a formalised and continuous dialogue with the European Parliament. After an initial internal discussion on Wednesday, the members of the Forum will meet with several Members of the European Parliament, coming from several European states, including from several minority communities.
On Thursday the European Dialogue Forum will attend the meeting of the European Parliament’s Intergroup for Traditional Minorities, National Communities and Languages, where FUEN will present FUEN and an overview of its activities and main topics for 2017.
