Engaging with future generations

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.

Language(s): English, French, Spanish
