Lecture series

Lecture series about active citizenship and participation in the democracy. Active citizens who collectively take an active role in the organization of their living environment, while governments monitor their tendency to, this is the perspective that fits the participatory society. The different aspects of the participatory society will be discussed in five lectures and will be organized by the Montesquieu Institute, ProDemos and The Netherlands Institute for Social Research.

Please note that the lecture series will be held in Dutch.
