Citizens' Assemblies Explained

Discover what citizens' assemblies are, how they work, and why they are reshaping democratic participation across Europe.

Imagine being selected, almost like jury duty, to help decide national policy on climate change, housing, or reproductive rights. That is exactly what a citizens' assembly does. It brings together a group of everyday people, chosen at random, to study a complex issue and recommend solutions to government.
