With the European HomeParliaments, the citizens’ movement Pulse of Europe would like to enable civil society commitment for Europe where opinions first arise: at the kitchen table, when eating together with friends and acquaintances – simply at home or in a café, at the regulars’ table or in the park – and this in different European countries.  The results of the private roundtable discussions are then passed on to EU politicians, who take them into account in their decision-making processes and enter into a dialogue with the HomeParliaments’ participants. In this way we build a bridge between politicians in Brussels and the European population. 

HomeParliaments offer an innovative and effective method of civil participation that serves to improve legislative processes through a coordinated exchange of information between voters and political decision-makers. Anyone who is interested and has a constructive opinion on European policy issues can participate and influence political decisions. This is how citizens can contribute on a small scale to the big picture.
