In June, Fellows from the Public Policy New Voices Europe program will host a session titled Disrupting Bureaucracy: Equitable and Just Policymaking
Taking place during the Creative Bureaucracy Festival, the session Disrupting Bureaucracy: Equitable and Just Policymaking, hosted by Salzburg Global Fellows from the Public Policy New Voices Europe program, is in a fishbowl conversation format. The session sets a space to discuss how common exclusionary practices in the policy-making sphere can be disrupted and aims to diagnose the sector’s issues, enabling bureaucrats to take action and centre their policy work on marginalised communities acutely affected by a lack of thoughtful, inclusive policy.
“Representation and inclusion in policy-making are not buzzwords; they are principles we must meaningfully adhere to when formulating policy. If not, we risk reproducing the harmful assumptions and structures already ingrained within the status-quo of the policy-making field.”
Speakers will include Salzburg Global Fellows Róquia Gonçalves Guerra Camara, Nadia Hafedh, Lauri Heikkinen, Diana Zsoldos, Alex Kuch, Sude-Mariam Fidan, and will be moderated by Helia Nazari, Program and Engagement Associate for Salzburg Global Seminar.
This session is part of the capacity-building element of Salzburg Global’s Public Policy New Voice Europe program, which connects, supports and empowers a new generation of diverse leaders in public policy across Europe.
