30 October 2024

Speakers: Juliane Baruck (Project Lead Hallo Bundestag, Germany); Paul Naudascher (Team Member and Head of Science & Evaluation, Hallo Bundestag, Germany)

Chair: Chris Shaw (Clerk of the Home Affairs Committee, UK House of Commons, and IPEN Executive Team)

This IPEN event is a follow up to the seminar we held back in 2023 on the Hallo Bundestag initiative.

Juliane Baruck and Paul Naudascher will report back on the findings from this deliberative democracy methods initiative that was used in Germany in 2023/4 to engage citizens with the policy making process, through a focus on Members of Parliament.

They will talk about their operative learnings from the project and will also dive into the findings from the evaluation report which has just been published.

This online seminar will take place in MS Teams and is open to all members of the International Parliament Engagement Network.
