Brussels parliament building

Engaging with future generations

28th March 2023

Speakers: Didier Caluwaerts (Associate Professor of Political Science, Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Daan Vermassen (PhD researcher, Vrije Universiteit Brussel)

This IPU/IPEN Public Engagement Hub seminar will lead a reflection on how present parliamentary engagement can inform decisions that have implications for future generations.

Didier Caluwaerts and Daan Vermassen will present their research, which outlines existing methods and possible new ways through which we can engage future generations. This includes today’s young people but also those generations yet to be born. The seminar aims to encourage parliaments to reflect on their practices and how these can be adapted to consider the impact on future generations.

This seminar is jointly organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and International Parliament Engagement Network (IPEN). The event is part of a series of webinars hosted by the Public Engagement Hub.

This seminar takes place on Zoom and is open to anyone with an interest in public engagement with parliaments. Find out more and register here.
