Imagine trying to organize a town hall meeting where everyone, regardless of their background or status, actually feels heard and included. This project creates a blueprint for these meetings so that the loudest voices don't drown out the marginalized ones. It's like building a better seating chart and set of rules to ensure a fair conversation for everyone.
Current public consultation methods often exclude vulnerable groups and fail to address intersectional discrimination. This leads to biased decision-making and low trust in democratic processes.
A prototype for an inclusive Citizens' Assembly and a set of guidelines for its implementation at EU, national, and local levels.
If you are a platform provider dealing with low engagement from minority groups — this project developed a prototype for inclusive assemblies that ensures diverse representation. This allows your software to better serve marginalized users.
If you are a consultancy dealing with corporate social inequality in client projects — this project developed guidelines for inclusive deliberation. You can use these to help companies run fairer community consultations.
If you are a law firm dealing with complex intersectional discrimination cases in EU law — this project developed an analytical framework for equality. This helps in designing legal processes that are more inclusive of vulnerable groups.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structures for the prototype are provided.
The project is designed to be transferred from the EU level to national and local levels of Member States, suggesting a scalable model for public administration.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents or licensing agreements.
The project addresses difficulties in the concept of intersectionality within EU law to improve democratic participation.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, moving from theory to evaluation and finally to piloting.
The consortium is heavily academic, with 6 universities and 1 research entity, but it maintains a practical edge with 2 SMEs and 2 other industry-related partners. With a 18% industry ratio and a reach across 10 countries, the project balances theoretical depth with the ability to test the prototype in diverse geopolitical environments.
