Our producer Wojciech recently reported on a European Citizens' Panel and got to witness the remarkable effort the EU goes to to make people feel linguistically included. 70 translators; booths; mics; headsets.
"We are one of the most fragmented continents with vastly different languages and cultures every few hundred kilometres. And yet we are making the effort and spending all this money to create a platform that at least attempts to resemble a round table."
Can a group of strangers solve Europe’s biggest problems? — The Europeans
If you got a knock on your door from someone inviting you to Brussels to hash out some EU policies…you’d think it was a scam, right? Us, too. At least, that was the case until last week, when our producer Wojciech went to report on a European Citizens’ Panel, an event designed to allow 150 randomly selected Europeans to weigh in on some of the EU’s thorniest problems. This week we’re taking a deep dive into the ins and outs of what seems like the nerdiest game show ever. How do these panels work? What do they actually achieve? And crucially, are they worth the cost?

@europeanspodcast Can confirm la conférence sur l’avenir de l’Europe was incredibly impressive even for the smaller, local events (or watching the livestreams of the Bxl plenary on the website).
