Hosted by the JRC and organized by the Bertelsmann Stiftung and FIDE Europe, the event convened representatives from key European institutions - such as the European Commission, European Parliament, Council of Europe, Committee of the Regions - as well as practitioners and policymakers from the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, East Belgium, Baden-Württemberg, and the OECD. Their shared goal? To exchange ideas, test new tools, and foster citizen participation in Europe.
