Conference on 'Reassessing European citizenship: citizen rights and citizen acts', Brussels, Belgium
27 April 2010 - 27 April 2010
Belgium
A conference on 'Reassessing European citizenship: citizen rights and citizen acts' will be held in Brussels, Belgium on 27 April 2010.
This conference will present key results of the ENACT ('Enacting European citizenship') project which is supported under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It brings together researchers from three long-standing EU Member States (UK, Belgium and the Netherlands), two new Member States (Hungary and Latvia) and a candidate state (Turkey) to explore in-depth how European citizenship is claimed, disputed, built and enacted.
Normally, European citizenship is assessed in terms of the European Court of Justice's interpretations of rights. This conference offers a new lens - focused on acts of European citizenship - in order to generate new insights. There is more to European citizenship than status and residence rights. How do people enact citizenship, mobility, and their rights to 'Europe'? Reaching beyond European citizenship as a legal status, the presentations examine a series of acts by subjects who claim European rights, regardless of their status. Major issues about identity, belonging, and the significance of 'Europe' are at stake in these claims.
Sessions at the event will include the following topics:
- 'The Future of European citizenship',
- 'Enacting European citizenship in Turkey',
- 'Deprivation of citizenship in the EU',
- 'Mobility, sex workers and European citizenship',
- 'Challenges to European citizenship: the Roma and Sinti in Italy and Germany',
- 'Assessing European citizenship: between law and politics'.For further information, please visit:
