Yes. We design, host and harvest participatory citizen and stakeholder assemblies on EU policy issues such as climate, migration and democracy reform. We run multi-session public or expert assemblies, design inclusively and in multiple languages, and deliver transparent synthesis and policy reporting — accessible to outsiders yet substantive for insiders.

Yes. Our collective works in many languages across EU member states, and we design inclusive sessions that lower language barriers so every voice can take part. We can facilitate multilingual assemblies and dialogues, and adapt the process to your group’s culture and context.

No. We are based in Brussels and know the EU bubble intimately, but we facilitate across Europe — and online or hybrid when that suits you. We bring Brussels-savvy process design to wherever your team, board or network is.

We start with a short, sharp intake to define together what success looks like, then design the session backwards from that goal. We use structured process design, time-boxing and clear decision frameworks to keep the group focused, secure buy-in, and end with agreed outcomes and next steps — not an open-ended conversation. While we can never guarantee you get the outcome you want, we can at least do everything in our might to create the right circumstances.

You get more than flipcharts. We deliver a clean synthesis of what was discussed and decided, plus concrete next steps and accountability points that actually lead somewhere. The aim is always that today’s conversation turns into tomorrow’s action.

We choose the method to fit your goal, group and context — never a template. Depending on the session we use Technology of Participation (ToP), World Café, Open Space, appreciative inquiry, fishbowl, consensus mapping, focused conversation and structured decision rounds. Or we go really creative with roleplays, serious games or a debate tournament. Goals come first, structure second, interaction third. We design the process around what success looks like for you.

Facilitation guides a group through a process to reach a concrete outcome — a decision, a strategy, a set of ideas, or alignment. Moderation guides a public event, like a conference or panel, for an audience. In short: facilitation is group-facing and outcome-driven; moderation is stage-facing and audience-driven. We do both, and for moderation, we have a facilitatory approach: We want the audience to participate in the event leading to outcomes.

Hire a facilitator whenever a group needs to produce something together rather than just listen. That includes board and committee decisions, strategy sessions, brainstorms, team alignment and onboarding, and citizen or stakeholder assemblies. If the room has to leave with clarity, commitment and next steps — not just information — you need facilitation.

We facilitate for EU institutions, umbrella associations, advocacy networks, think-tanks, NGOs, PR and public affairs agencies, and corporate and institutional teams of all sizes. Whether it’s a DG advisory board, an NGO innovation lab or a strategy retreat, we adapt the process to your organisation and its context.
