Wild Talks: A Citizens deliberation on Nature and Biodiversity

The partners of the REAL DEAL project invite you to participate and share your experiences in a citizen decision-making space focused on shaping the future of Europe’s environmental landscape. This unique opportunity allows citizens to have their voices heard regarding what the green transition in Europe could and should look like. Taking place on June 15 and 16 in Brussels (Belgium), this event offers an experience in citizen decision-making, providing the platform for your insights to potentially influence the trajectory of nature conservation and biodiversity preservation.

The European Union has long been at the forefront of environmental policy, but too often, decisions are made disconnected from the lived realities of its citizens. Now, it’s time for a change. 

The REAL DEAL partners are calling upon you to hear your voice, your stories, and your vision to redefine the EU’s approach to the green transition

Whether you’re a seasoned environmental advocate or simply passionate about making a difference, this event is for you. No prior knowledge is required—all that’s needed is your willingness to contribute to the collective wisdom that will shape the future of our planet. Over the course of two days, the project partners will delve deep into the heart of the EU Green Deal, exploring its potential and identifying the barriers that stand in the way of effective biodiversity conservation. Through innovative democratic methods, they’ll bring your voices directly into the policymaking process, making tangible strides towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.

The workshop will take place on Saturday, June 15, and it will be reserved for dialogue, discovery, and collaboration. And don’t miss our social gathering on Sunday, June 16th, where connections will be forged and ideas will continue to flourish.

Register now to secure your spot in this groundbreaking event. Together, let’s redefine democracy, reshape policy, and unlock a greener, brighter future for all.

This event will be co-organised by the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and partners as part of the REAL DEAL project, and according to the Horizon 2020 research initiative focused on enhancing citizen participation and deliberative democracy in Europe. By fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration, the REAL DEAL project aims to pave the way for a more inclusive and responsive policymaking process. Join us in shaping the future of Europe’s environmental agenda—your voice is the catalyst for change.
