Join us on October 6th at Forum Groningen for the SPEAK Up! final conference, bringing together academics, practitioners, and citizens to explore how citizen participation can strengthen cooperation between citizens and government.
The programme will feature presentations and interactive workshops led by academics and civil servants, alongside panel discussions on different approaches to public participation. The conference will also offer the opportunity to exchange experiences directly with local governments from seven countries involved in the SPEAK Up! Interreg project, representing diverse public participation initiatives. Insights, lessons, and challenges from the project will feed into the discussions throughout the day.
