Pre-event: Recruiting participants
We've meticulously selected a diverse cohort of 80 participants, each representing a mosaic of backgrounds and perspectives. From all corners of Europe, our attendees are united by a shared curiosity about the intersection of nature and biodiversity and the Green Transition. We've deliberately sought out citizens who may be new to EU processes, ensuring fresh perspectives and untapped potential for change. Participants are now under way booking their travel to Brussels.
