The Democratic Odyssey – Florence Assembly Moment

• Florence School of Transnational Governance

On 22 and 23 February, the Democratic Odyssey's 2024/25 Pilot Assembly will dock in the historic settings of Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Buontalenti, in Florence.

Building on the momentum from Athens, this Assembly seeks to deepen our shared understanding and experiences of crises, with a sense of how can we take decisions more democratically.

Across the two days of sessions in Florence, Assembly members will engage in discussions drawing on the insights and proposals previously developed and ultimately, will start preparing draft recommendations.

We aim to chart the course of this Odyssey together - one that advances the vision of a permanent People's Assembly for Europe to strengthen democracy across the region and beyond.

The event will be livestreamed and reachable at this link.
