Spring School on Climate Citizens' Assemblies - FIDE x KNOCA

Time

In recent years, Poland has faced democratic challenges, prompting renewed interest in citizen engagement and deliberative democracy. Civil society organizations, some of which have been active for over a decade, have played a key role in fostering a culture of participation. As a result, Poland has become one of the most active countries in Central and Eastern Europe when it comes to organizing citizens’ assemblies.

The Spring School on Climate Citizens’ Assemblies organised by FIDE - Europe and KNOCA offers a unique opportunity to gain practical skills in designing and running citizens’ assemblies. In collaboration with experienced local organizations—the Shipyard Foundation, Field of Dialogue Foundation—and the City of Warsaw, the school provides hands-on training, case-based learning, and interactive group work.

A special one-day Deep Dive on Involving Children and Youth in Citizens’ Assemblies will provide additional insights into making deliberative processes more inclusive and representative.
