The European Information Association is currently running an essay competition on the topic Communicating Europe: Is the EU getting through to you?
Communicating with the public has been a primary concern for the Barroso Commission since it took office in 2004. Aiming to put people at the heart of EU policies, the Commission’s approach is based on three principles:
– listening to the public – taking their views and concerns into account
– explaining how EU policies affect their everyday lives
– connecting with people locally – addressing them in their national or local settings, through their favorite media
The European Information Association (EIA) and Europe Direct Leeds would like to hear your views on how effective this strategy has been.
