The conference *“Representation Needs Participation: European Elections”* took
place from the *13th to 15th of April 2018 in Salerno. *It took part as an
activity related to the Franck Biancheri Award granted to *AEGEE-Salerno* and
was co-organised with the *Civic Education Working Group*. The topic was
dedicated to the idea of transnational lists and the European Elections.

*The Association des Amis de Franck Biancheri (AAFB/ Friends of Franck
Biancheri) *was founded shortly after Franck’s death in 2012 to continue
his legacy. AAFB grants each year, since 2014, the award to one AEGEE local
to remember and to promote Franck’s work and ideas connected to European
decision-making processes.

The topic chosen for the conference is connected to Franck’s vision on
trans-european democracy in European Union politics. This includes his
creation of the two parties: IDE in 1989 and Newropeans in 2009 both
running for European elections. The motivation behind the chosen topic is
the current need for more transnational democracy in Europe.

The aim of the conference was to discuss these ideas from today’s
perspective. For this, the current European election system was explained,
alternatives to it were introduced and compared and ideas for the future
were drafted by the participants. The participants came from different
European countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland,
Russia, Spain and Turkey. There were participants also outside from AEGEE.
The working language was English. You can find results booklet here
