9/2024 Athens

On the morning of 29 September, on the hills of the very historic Pnyx, the Assembly members debated a common message of the Assembly, which we present here:

Our people’s assembly has met in the first port of its Democratic Odyssey: Athens. We seek to invent a permanent assembly that allows more participatory democracy via regular and transparent deliberation between people, and involving policy makers, scientists, industry and journalists, that leads to concrete commitments and actions at local, regional, national and transnational levels and more cultural integration. We believe this assembly can contribute to better planning for future crises, build trust, interdependence and promote the equality, liberty, education, health and wellbeing of everyone.

The depth of discussions during the three days in Athens proved to be both wide-ranging thematically, and very specific on the experiences of crises discussed. We document this in the Full Report of Athens, which we encourage you to consult.
