How can I take part in shaping the manifesto?

October 7th, 2007by Noel Hatch

To take part you need to register here as a guest or as a PES activist. As a PES activist you will be able to organize your own meetings and write posts on any of the four themes of PES manifesto2009 blogs.

The consultation takes place on-line and in real meetings.

On the website

* submit a post: write us a short article - based on your personal views or the outcome of meetings or discussions you have taken part in. To do so, you need to be a PES activist. It’s free to become an activist but there is one condition: you have to be an individual member of a national party belonging to the PES! See a list of our member parties on the website of PES.
* start your blog in your own language and in your own city or organization and share the results with us.
* submit a blog to our blogroll
* organize an event or a meeting
* share content from the web: on-line article, story, podcast, video, which you think is important for our discussion. Once something is submitted, other people see it and vote for what they like best.
* post your videos on our YouTube channel
* post your pictures on our Flickr pages
* comment on all or any of the four themes of the manifesto consultation
* rate any post or video

On the streets

* consult our website to see if there are any meetings in your area
* join PES activists and set up a local group - set up your own meeting!
* get your local party involved in debating the PES manifesto

Spread the word

* tell your friends and colleagues about Yourspace.
* put a link from your website - or the website of your party or organization. Use our banners, buttons and leaflets.
* ask your local MEP what activities s/he is planning for the consultation
* find out what your national party is doing to involve its members in the manifesto discussions: join in the national debate

let’s start a new conversation, let’s shape a new social europe!
