Event that brings together people who are interested in, and working on, citizen engagement and deliberative democracy in Europe.
EVENT | 04 Nov 2026 - 06 Nov 2026, , Berlaymont Building, Rue de la Loi 200, 1040 Bruxelles

This year, the Festival will take as its reference point the European Democracy Shield (EDS) presented by the Commission on 12 November 2025. As far as citizen participation is concerned, the EDS builds on the 2020 European Democracy Action Plan and the 2023 Defence of Democracy Communication, which led to the adoption of a Commission Recommendation on Citizen Participation in Policymaking. As one of the priority areas of the EDS is ‘boosting societal resilience and citizen engagement’, the 6th edition of the Festival will be focusing on ongoing work on relevant citizen participation topics that support the Commission’s policy on citizen participation.
The programme will feature a variety of activities, including expert panels, keynote interventions, roundtables, workshops, as well as an exhibition of relevant projects. These sessions will aim to reflect on new trends in deliberative and participatory democracy, showcasing innovations, identifying still missing elements and discussing the challenges.
