The Travelling Assembly

[Please note this latest version was made public on 25 May 2025, after the final meeting (External link) of the 2024/25 pilot Assembly]

Principle: Being ready to tackle crises calls for a commitment to maximise democratic competence for all, at all ages, in ways that allow intelligent and empathetic conversations across countries and languages. Learning is the name of the game, so we can all be empowered in advance to be prepared to think and act during crises and involved in collective learning afterwards. Empathy can be learned and practiced collectively in various public spaces and moments. Scenario making and foresight must be democratised in order to disrupt old habits. Civic education for future-thinking holds the promise of European collective intelligence.
