2nd Citizen Engagement Festival

This year’s edition is designed to inform policymakers in other Commission services and EU institutions about the practical ways to carry out Citizen Engagement (CE) and to identify new needs and challenges; it will also help to better connect practitioners and foster partnerships across the EU. The festival will therefore be a key moment to expand the Community of Practice set up by the Joint Research Centre.

Participatory Democracy

The Citizen Engagement Festival is an annual event organised by the Joint Research Centre in the framework of the EU Community of Practice on Citizen Engagement. This year, the festival will be held in Brussels, on the 9 & 10 of December 2019. The aim is to reach out to colleagues across EU institutions and practitioners from different Member States, civil society organisations to strengthen understanding of the role of citizen engagement across the policy cycle.
The activities envisaged during the two days fall roughly into the following categories: showcasing, debating, networking, capacity building, planning and further consolidation.
