The European commission has selected our ‘EU Reporter’ project from twelve other civic participation projects that encourage action and debate on EU issues at a grass-roots level. This projet is also known under Europe on the ground, our well known grass-roots journalism project in European cities. EU Reporter has been financed by the European Commission and the City of Paris through its program Label Paris Europe.
