And while you’re at it, can you give me your opinion on something: we always struggle in the European institutions to “connect” with citizens. It’s not by lack of trying, willingness or things to say, far from it, but rather a difficulty to find the proper channels or way to get to you guys and talk about Europe. So what in your opinion are the best ways to do that?
No, but seriously this is an issue. The EU helps people in ways no one knows. If people felt more connected to Brussels, euroscepticism wouldn't be on such a high.
I think a good first step would be to revamp how EU institutions use social media. The EU Commission and Parliament post videos on YT that are 2 minutes long and don't really explain anything. We should make good use of these platforms in a Kurzegast way to improve communication with the EU. From that point we'd also have more feedback and be able to improve things even further with more information.
Also, the EU website is shite, and all websites about the EU aren't really friendly. If you want to find a poll or research or new law you have to dig in for hours and more often than not you're not able to even find anything worthy. If you want to watch plenary sessions you need to download a million things, and I still didn't manage to do it.
Overall, I think we should embrace new means of communication and use them as much as we can in effective and meaningful ways.
