Get your ticket for Democracy Drinks The Hague!Will you join us on October 22nd in exploring the role of citizen assemblies on climate? Learn about citizen assemblies and their (potential) role in democratic decison-making. What kind of outcomes will citizen assemblies on climate generate and how can these decisions affect our societies? We will hear from Marije Dippel and Yuri Impens to gain both a broad national perspective and insights to what a citizen assembly will mean for the Hague. Meet the Speakers:Marije Dippel is business director at the non-profit Bureau Burgerberaad. Bureau Burgerberaad promotes the quality of citizen assemblies, which are a valuable and necessary addition to our representative democracy. Marije is experienced in policy-making and administrative matters in the non-profit sector, and development cooperation and she is a big fan of 'play-based learning'. At Bureau Burgerberaad she is also involved in Monitoring Evaluation &amp; Learning and the pilot project that introduces citizens assemblies in vocational education.Yuri Impens works as Strategic Advisor on Sustainability for the City of The Hague. Holding a Master's in Sustainable Urban Planning &amp; Design from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, he currently focuses on the broad field of Climate Transition in The Hague. This ranges from improving the governance structures and international organization of The City of The Hague, to participatory projects and events such as the The Hague Climate Agreement, The Hague Climate Council and The Hague Climate Week. Yuri's previous work endeavours have focused on the broad spectrum of participatory urbanism and placemaking. Secure your spot now!
