Italy – Online Citizens' Deliberation Event on the European Semester (April 2024)

This event in Italy was held entirely online, with the aim to ensure broader regional participation. It was achieved that 63 citizens from 16 of Italy’s 20 regions participated, recruited by an open call and networks. The discussions centered on national policy choices within the European Semester framework, such as energy transition, employment, and social rights. Participants engaged in working groups, drafting proposals, and voting on policy recommendations. The event was followed up and connected to the Danish case through a joint event in Rome.
