We are very excited to continue our conversations and discussions that began in the workshops in 2020-1. We will continue virtually to allow for maximal inclusion and participation. This year’s topics will include economic and social policy, gendered aspects of German elections, de-democratization, and racism in Europe among others. The last session of 2021 will be devoted to presenting EUGenDem project research and findings.
