IPEN Seminar: Public engagement and parliamentary buildings

Date
Date
Thursday 31 March 2022, 14.00 - 15.30 (UK time)

This seminar is part of the seminar series of IPEN, a network that brings together practitioners and academics working on public engagement, with a particular focus on parliamentary institutions. This particular one, organised in collaboration with an external partner, International Network of Parliamentary Properties (INPP), will focus on public engagement in relation to parliamentary buildings and spaces. We’ll hear how the UK Parliament Restoration and Renewal Programme sought the public’s views as it plans for the restoration of the Palace of Westminster. We’ll also hear from Professor Sophia Psarra on the academic context and representatives from other parliaments on how they approach welcoming the public into their spaces. During the breakout session, participants will have the opportunity to discuss their own cases, share best practices, and learn from IPEN’s international member base.
