Elections choose governments; assemblies let people deliberate on what should be done. With time, evidence and skilled facilitation, citizens’ assemblies tackle issues elections often sideline.
This project develops a replicable framework for inclusive assemblies across the EU.

Looking forward to this workshop tomorrow at City Law School on the topic of EU Law for a Volatile and Uncertain World, and to meeting new colleagues. I will be discussing all things intersectionality and citizens' assemblies, including the deficiencies within the existing EU equality law framework.

First slide of presentation titled a new paradigm for intersectionality in citizens' assemblies.
