Participatory Democracy

The first Citizen Engagement Festival aims primarily at launching formally the Community of Practice on Citizen Engagement at the Joint Research Centre and to reach out to other interested colleagues across the Commission.

Building on the conclusions of a first workshop on citizen engagement held in Ispra on the 26th June 2018, the Festival aims at achieving the following objectives:

  • Strengthen and widen across the Commission the understanding of the role of citizen engagement for policy;
  • Enrich the mapping of citizen engagement initiatives and launch a Community of Practice on citizen engagement;
  • Contributing to capacity building about citizen engagement tools and methodologies and address some cross-cutting challenges;
  • Identifying new engagement needs and opportunities to develop a programme of collaborative initiatives for the Community of Practice
