On Tuesday, 18 January 2022 from 15:00-16:30 CET (14:00-15:30 WET), the European Movement International will hold a Democracy Table discussion to present the public opinion poll results from Listen to Europe: Reaching Beyond our Base Audience (LTE).

Listen to Europe is a long-term initiative aimed at helping civil society to set up targeted and informed campaigning based on data and segmentation of audiences. To this end, we have conducted public opinion surveys and social media listening to investigate drivers of citizens’ behaviour as well as the main topics and narratives present on social media in each of the eight project countries. We have examined the attitudes of European citizens towards the EU and democracy, along with their opinions about specific issues like the environment, immigration, gender equality and human rights.

Now that the results of the poll are analysed and ready, we are holding online events with the intention to share and discuss the findings of our research.

The purpose of the meetings is to share the polling results and discuss audience segmentation, framing, targeting, communications, and campaigns related to democracy and specific issues that civil society tries to promote and advocate for.

How committed are Portuguese citizens to democracy?

Is there a strong strain of authoritarianism embedded in the Portuguese view of the world?

What are Portuguese attitudes towards the EU’s Economic Recovery Plan, economic inequality, climate change, women’s rights, immigration, and human rights?

To find it out, you can watch the replay of our event for a presentation on the latest opinion poll data and analysis from our Listen to Europe project.

Prior registration is requested. The event will stream live on our Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn. Registrants will receive links to the live stream on various platforms shortly before the event begins.
