Example: On-site EU citizens' dialogue

Detailed two-day schedule and report template for an on-site transnational citizens' dialogue.

This document provides a concrete example of a two-day program for a physical, transnational citizens' dialogue involving participants from France, Poland, and Germany discussing the future of the European Union. It maps out a 10-phase methodology that guides participants from initial brainstorming and exchange of experiences through intensive work with experts to the final formulation of proposals and direct discussion with politicians.

It serves as a comprehensive methodological reference for organizers planning in-person deliberative events. Crucially, it includes a "template for the report on the results of the citizens' dialogue," which provides a standardized structure for documenting project context, methodology, participant recruitment, and final proposals to ensure transparency and effective political follow-up.
