Τhe main objective of the project is to create a standing European People’s Assembly that will become a core part of the institutional landscape of the European Union, made of citizens selected by lot, serving on a rotating basis. It will debate topics of its own choosing as well as those suggested by the EU institutions and civil society and become visible and popular by meeting all around the continent.
