Abstract

Participation is currently becoming attached to various territorial and administrative layers due to multilevel and complex governance and many other international and sub-national transformation processes which change the contexts of citizenship. Citizenship of the European Union is part of these broader ideas of multilevel citizenship. This paper focuses on participation in projects funded by EU’s programmes on citizenship and culture. The central question is how the territorial scales involved in EU-projects form participation and citizenship.
