European Movement Ireland and the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland invites you to a roundtable discussion with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs)
When: Friday 20 January, 12.00 -13.30pm
Where: Online via Zoom
Over the past years, European Movement Ireland and the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland held a series of online meetings for Irish Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and MEPs called NasCSO. These discussions covered topics including equality and diversity, an Ghaeilge, agriculture and fisheries and regional issues.
This online event will focus on developing relationships between CSOs and MEPs, while building on points raised by CSOs in previous meetings.
It will also provide opportunities and capacity building guidance for CSOs to further their understanding of how to engage with the European Parliament and other EU institutions and identify potential areas for further support and engagement.
The event will include discussions with MEPs and representatives from the European Parliament liaison Office in Ireland and European Movement Ireland.
Speakers
- Barry Andrews MEP, Dublin

The format of the roundtable meeting will be informal where CSOs will be invited to share your experiences of engagement at the European level. You will have an opportunity to direct questions to our panel of speakers which you can send to us in advance or ask on the day.
