EU-CIEMBLY Virtual Exhibition Event
Description
Local leaders and authorities are facing unprecedented challenges. From housing shortages to rebuilding community trust, the demands on leaders have never been higher.
How do we bridge the gap between institutional decision-making and the everyday needs of the citizens?
The answer lies in structured, participatory democracy.
We invite you to an exclusive virtual exhibition to explore the proven results of the EU-CIEMBLY Citizens’ Assemblies. This is not just a theoretical discussion; it is a showcase of practical, tested methodologies implemented in the UK (Colchester) and Cyprus.
Why Attend? Whether you represent a local authority, municipality, academic institution, CSO, private company, or are simply an engaged citizen, this event offers valuable insights for you:
- Discover Practical Tools: Learn how to implement an intersectional framework that ensures marginalized voices are heard, reducing community friction.
- Share the Decision-Making Load: See firsthand how empowering randomly selected citizens can help municipalities navigate complex, politically sensitive issues (like housing) with strong community backing.
- Actionable Policy Outcomes: Get a preview of the actual recommendations generated by citizens and understand how to translate grassroots deliberation into structural policy. Get an update on how the extracted recommendations from the UK and Cyprus pilots are progressing.
- Future-Proof Your Governance: Gain insights from a Horizon Europe-funded project designed to elevate local governance to the next level of democratic innovation.
