Learning objectives

- Capacity building on Citizen Engagement and Deliberative Democracy Practices. - Showcase and learn about ongoing important files of citizen engagement run by the Commission by relevant services, notably the Conference on the Future of Europe. - Illustrate why greater engagement of the public in policy-making is even more needed now than it was before the outbreak of Covid-19. Further strengthen and widen across the Commission the understanding of the role of citizen engagement in all phases of the policy cycle, especially focusing on co-creation and deliberative practices. - Showcase citizen engagement that services are conducting or supporting, e.g. the Horizon Europe Missions and in the Member States. - Address some cross-cutting challenges with practitioners in the field, e.g. evaluation.
