Organic farming innovation cannot succeed through innovation alone. It also needs the confidence of the people who choose, buy and consume organic products.
Led by Cittadinanzattiva–Active Citizenship Network, the communication campaign “From Organic Innovation to Consumer Trust: the OH-FINE Journey”, developed as part of the EU-funded OH-FINE project, brings together 14 consumer associations from 11 European countries. Together, they call for better information, greater transparency and sustainability, and a stronger dialogue between consumers, farmers and institutions.
In Italy, Cittadinanzattiva has officially presented the national campaign “1000 Good Days” during an institutional event held at the Nassirya Hall of the Italian Senate. The initiative aims to promote a concrete program of actions to protect the first thousand days of life, from conception to two years of age, asserting every child's right to the best possible start in life regardless of their place of birth or family economic background.
The campaign is supported by an extensive multi-stakeholder Board comprising scientific societies, institutions, professional orders, and universities. Together with Cittadinanzattiva, this network will develop a multidimensional civic platform to connect families, healthcare professionals, educators, and local communities, turning early childhood care into a pillar of social equity and public health. A civic analysis conducted by the organization on Regional Prevention Plans showed deep inequalities across Italy, highlighting why uniform standards are urgently required.
Take #CareForAll Action – Building a Healthier, More Resilient Europe
Respiratory diseases are among the leading causes of death and long-term illness across Europe, claiming more than 324,000 lives each year. 1 Yet they remain under-recognised, underdiagnosed and under-prioritised in public health policy.
The #CareForAll 2025 campaign, led by Active Citizenship Network (ACN) in collaboration with 13 national patient advocacy groups across Europe, calls on the EU to move towards a comprehensive EU Respiratory Health Plan – one that puts prevention, equity and resilience at the heart of care.
Every breath matters. By addressing the burden of respiratory disease through prevention, early detection and stronger healthcare systems, we can protect those most at risk and build healthier societies across Europe.
Take #VaccinAction Today – Protect Your Health, Strengthen Europe’s Future
Vaccination is one of the most effective tools we have to protect health and prevent disease.3 Yet across Europe, millions of adults remain unvaccinated, leaving individuals and communities vulnerable to infections that can be prevented and lives that could be saved.4
The #VaccinAction 2025 campaign, led by the Active Citizenship Network (ACN) together with patient advocacy groups across Europe, calls for a stronger focus on adult immunisation as a cornerstone of public health and disease prevention.
Vaccines don’t just protect against infection – they help reduce hospitalisations, support people with chronic conditions and strengthen the resilience of our healthcare systems. Prevention is not only better than cure – it is fairer, safer and smarter.
Thank you for joining our Bio-Based Quiz as part of the BioReCer social campaign! This initiative is designed to raise awareness about the environmental and economic benefits of bio-based products, highlighting the importance of renewable raw materials and the potential of waste as a valuable resource. In particular, consumers need to know that:
At the beginning of the EU-funded BioReCer project, a series of interviews were conducted with various consortium members to explain the aims and key elements of the project.
Towards the end of the project, it was decided to use the same communication approach, but in a non self-referential way, by conducting a series of interviews with external stakeholders — selected from the members of the BioResources Stakeholders Platform — able to highlight, from the perspective of qualified stakeholders, the added value of the project.
The concept idea and the rationale of this campaign were presented, discussed, and approved on the occasion of the Biorecer 3rd coordination meeting – carried out in Milan (Italy) from 1 to 3 October, 2024. For more details, click here.
We may be living in a post-pandemic world but four years on, there are still many challenges for us to overcome. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, existing problems within the healthcare system such as job strain, skill shortages and medical desertification have grown ever more prevalent.
“Supporting health workforce to strengthen patients’ rights in the EU”. With this message, the #CareforAll 2024 campaign was launched online, featuring representatives of 13 associations from 10 countries as testimonials.
Promoted by Active Citizenship Network, the campaign urges the EU Institutions to take decisive action in support of the health workforce, thus safeguarding the health and well-being of all EU citizens, and empowering healthcare professionals for everyone’s protection.

Three years on and Covid-19 still exists on a global scale, deadly, and with new variants mutating. Here is what member states can do to prevent another outbreak and ensure #CareForAll.
COVID-19 not only brought catastrophic numbers of cases and deaths across the globe; it also shone a spotlight on the weaknesses of our healthcare systems, surfacing the lack of investment in public health and pandemic preparedness overall. To support European member states in their defence against COVID-19, policymakers put measures in place tackling the then-unknown pandemic.
Three years on, the pandemic still exists, and remains deadly, especially for patients who are within at a higher-risk groups. Yet, European member states are deprioritising COVID-19 care, with the recommended actions to fight the pandemic seen to have been put aside.
