In 2018 and 2019, the G1000 assisted the government and parliament of the German speaking region of Belgium in designing a model for a permanent and institutionalized form of citizen participation in policy-making through deliberative processes and sortition.
Starting in September 2019, a fixed Citizen Council will set the agenda for one to three Citizens Assemblies every year. These Citizens’ Assemblies will come up with recommendations for the parliament and government on regional policy. Parliament will need to respond to those recommendations.
