Reshaping European Advances towards green Leadership Through Deliberative Approaches and Learning

Project description

A new model of environmental citizenship across Europe

There is urgent need for innovative models of citizen participation and environmental citizenship in Europe. The EU-funded project REAL_DEAL aims to explore new pathways to enhance citizen participation around the European Green Deal. Leading researchers and practitioners from a range of disciplines will take stock of existing deliberative processes before testing and validating new formats for deliberative democracy (both physical and digital) in around 13 European countries. The project will develop and test a pan-European platform for digital democracy linked to a Europe-wide mobilisation campaign. Based on the findings, REAL_DEAL will co-create a comprehensive protocol for meaningful citizen participation in the EU and a new model of environmental citizenship.

Objective

REAL DEAL will stimulate a pan-European debate to reshape citizens? and stakeholders? active participation through deliberative processes around the European Green Deal. It brings together researchers and practitioners of deliberative democracy from a wide range of disciplines including environmental rights and the law of public participation, ethics and responsible innovation, gender studies and ecofeminism, psychology, geography, urban planning and sustainability studies. It includes the EU?s largest civil society networks advocating on the environment, climate, sustainable development, local democracy and the European movement. It teams up with youth climate, social justice and women?s organisations, SMEs, universities and research institutes, mobilising networks with thousands of CSOs, uniting millions of citizens and activating contacts to thousands of policymakers.
In a large co-creation exercise, REAL DEAL will develop, test and validate innovative tools and formats to propel deliberative democracy to the next level. It will tests its innovations at citizens assemblies for the transition in at least 13 countries. We will scrutinise pan-European formats ranging from digital deliberation through our online platform www.CitizensGreenDeal.eu to in-person processes such as an Assembly for a Gender-Just Green Deal and a pan-European Youth Climate Assembly.
REAL DEAL will co-create a comprehensive protocol for meaningful citizens? participation and deliberation to work towards the objectives of the EGD. It will validate recommendations on how to design such processes and how they can be applied by European institutions, Member States and civil society alike. Gender equality will be embedded into the project?s DNA. It pays specific attention to the leave-no-one-behind principle, fostering the engagement of disenfranchised groups that are disproportionally burdened by environmental damage. REAL DEAL will develop a new model of environmental citizenship across Europe.
