Ms. Weronika Kędzia completed a two-month research stay in Belgium at Université Catholique de Louvain and Université Libre de Bruxelles. Ms. Kędzia had the opportunity to join the activities of research groups of Prof. Min Reuchamps and Prof. Jean-Benoit Pilet in the field of deliberative democracy. The internship contributed to the development of Ms. Kędzia’s PhD dissertation research on inclusion of linguistic minorities in deliberative innovations, such as citizens’ assemblies, in deeply divided societies.
During her stay, Ms. Kędzia conducted interviews with Belgium-based organizers of citizens’ assemblies in multilingual settings, established closer cooperation between Polish and Belgian scholars in the field and consulted her PhD dissertation project with renowned scholars of deliberative democracy.
The research stay was financed by COST Action Short-Term Scientific Mission grant.
