About the Citizen Participation and Deliberative Democracy Festival
Organised by European Commission’s Competence Centre on Participatory and Deliberative Democracy (CC-DEMOS), the Festival features a variety of activities, including expert panels, conversations, workshops, artwork presentations, exhibitions of participatory projects and hands-on presentations of methods and tools.
The theme for the 5th Festival will be the engagement of citizens in addressing environmental issues. This includes, for instance, transversal concerns related to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, environmental health, land use, oceans , as well as regional and local issues such as climate-neutrality of cities and energy transition.. Over the last few years, and in response to these issues, we have seen a growing number of participatory processes, such as citizen assemblies, focusing on biodiversity and climate change across Europe – and the world – convened both by public and non-governmental bodies at local, regional, national and global levels, as well as many other non-invited formats of citizen engagement. It is important that we bring our research, practitioner and policymaker communities together to discuss these initiatives and reflect on how to use these tools to help strengthen our democracies and give citizens a meaningful say in policies that concern them.
What: Epistemologies of the North. Why do we need to work across different ways of knowing in the Arctic?
