European parliamentarians will convene in Brussels on 29-30 September for a two-day meeting focused on strengthening democratic resilience and rebuilding citizens’ trust, the European Parliament has announced.
What Parliament is doing
The gathering will bring together Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), national parliamentarians, EU experts and representatives of civil society to discuss strategies aimed at reinforcing democracy. The event is scheduled for 29-30 September and is framed around the twin goals of bolstering democratic resilience and restoring public trust in democratic institutions.
Why it matters
The meeting aims to address challenges facing democratic systems by sharing perspectives across different levels of governance and sectors of society. By involving MEPs alongside national parliamentarians, experts and civil society actors, organisers intend to foster dialogue on coordinated approaches and practical measures to strengthen democratic processes and public confidence.
What happens next
The European Parliament’s announcement sets the agenda dates and participant groups for the discussions but does not specify a programme of sessions, speakers or follow-up steps in the published notice. Outcomes from the two-day event were not detailed in the announcement.
