[MEMBERS ONLY]
This 20-21 November, the European Movement International (EMI) will convene its annual Federal Assembly in Copenhagen, Denmark, with participation also available online. Each year, the Assembly gathers our membership from across Europe to take stock of our organisation’s work, discuss the political challenges ahead, and agree on the priorities that will guide our common action.
This year’s programme will feature political debates, plenary discussions, and opportunities for engagement with stakeholders, ensuring that our work continues to be informed by the voices of our members and the realities on the ground.
Please download the full agenda below, as well as practical information on the venue, travel, and logistics.
