When citizens write the law

Are citizens able to participate in the development of public policies as complex as the ecological transition, and by what processes? Understanding the details of the design of the citizens’ convention for the climate and listening to citizensborns pulledes to the spell allows us to provide some answers to these questions.

How is research done, how are hypotheses formulated? How are theories invented? How is knowledge preserved? How are works exhibited? The Life of Ideas wishes, in the form of podcasts, to give a voice to the players in intellectual and cultural life. From the laboratory to the workshop, from the library to the stage, The Life of Ideas starts listening.

During session 5, Emilie Frenkiel (lecturer at the University of Paris-Est Créteil) interviewed two members of the governance committee, Loïc Blondiaux (professor at the University of Paris 1) and Mathilde Imer (Gilets citoyens and Open Democracy) and citizensborns pulledes to the lot: Nadine and Vita, Said and Sylvain.
