The conference explores concrete examples of the divergence between the EU’s promised values of freedom and pluralism and their actual translation in practice through seven parallel workshops:

•     Agriculture: Land Sharing and Plant Breeding
•     Democracy and the Responsibility of Civil Society
•     Integrative Medicine – A Way forward for Public Health
•     Public Health: Prototypes for Patient-Centred Healthcare in Europe
•     Education: The Digital Dilemma – To Use or to Be Used
•     People with Special Needs: Necessary Care and Support
•     Citizens' Fundamental Rights: The EU Charter and its Neglected Aspects

The event will close with a plenary session, where the highlights of each workshop will be presented and ideas for engaging citizens in support of freedom of choice will be examined.

When? Monday 7 November 2016, from 1pm-8pm (including networking lunch and dinner)
Where? Residence Palace, Polak Room, Rue de la Loi 155, Brussels (see map)
