28/03/2023
On March 28, the Basque Country’s Representation in Brussels held a conference “Collaborative Governance to handle Democratic uncertainty: the model of Gipuzkoa Etorkizuna Eraikiz (Building the future)”. The Basque region currently holds the presidency of the EARLALL network, and the event was attended by EARLALL Director, Noelia Cantero.
The seminar built on lessons learned from the Basque Gipuzkoa province case on collaborative governance called Etorkizuna Eraikiz (building the future). Through listening and experimentation, the program comprises different projects in which public authorities and citizens (represented in entities such as businesses and societal, educational, and civic organizations) co-participate to define, decide and implement sustainable policies.
The seminar was attended by top-level international participants, including heads of different areas of EU institutions and experts in the academic field. The presentation of the meeting was given by María José Canel, professor of Political Communication and Public Sector of the Complutense University of Madrid. She was followed by Markel Olano, and then by the Vice-President of the European Commission, who preceded the presentation by Professor Geert Bouckaert, from KU Leuven University. This was followed by a round table on the importance of collaborative governance, moderated by Marta Marín, Basque delegate for the European Union. The forum was attended by Toma Šutić; member of the cabinet of Vice-President of the European Commission; Dubravka Šuica; Jaume Duch,Director-General for Communicationof the European Parliament; Adil Najam, from the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University, United States; the aforementioned María José Canel; and Xabier Barandiaran, from the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa.
Then, a second round table was held, which focused on how collaborative governance is implemented. The debate was moderated by María José Canel, and David Mair, head of the Joint Search Centre, European Commission; Daniele Dotto, head of administration at DG REFORM; Angela Hanson, OECD; Eider Mendoza, provincial deputy for Governance of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa; and Miren Larrea, from the Basque Institute of Competitiveness Orkestra, University of Deusto. Ms. Mendoza closed the event and summarised the main conclusions of the day.
