Description

On 21 May 2021, the Bertelsmann Stiftung, together with the King Baudouin Foundation and the Open Society Foundations, organised an online dialogue called: The Digital Way to EU Citizen Participation: 
The Conference on the Future of Europe and beyond.
The three foundations have been engaged in strengthening and expanding citizen participation for many years – a topic that is increasingly relevant for the European Union. By means of this online dialogue, fifty EU officials, think tankers, experts on democracy and European affairs, participation practitioners and journalists came together.  Věra Jourová, Vice-President of the European Commission for Values and Transparency provided the dialogue with her views and experiences. Discussions were held in plenary, as well as in breakout sessions dealing with specific sub-topics.
