On 27 November 2020, Margaritis Schinas, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of promoting our European Way of Life, hosted the 15th annual high-level meeting with Religious Leaders organised by the European Commission. The theme of the meeting where Representatives of religious organisations from across Europe took part was ‘the European way of life'. The meeting looked at how the current crisis may have affected and challenged this way of life and the responses to these challenges. The meeting also addressed other recent developments such as the Migration and Asylum Pact, Inclusion and Integration as well as progress towards an EU Health Union. Since 2009, the dialogue with churches, religions, philosophical and non-confessional organisations is enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty (Article 17 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).
