November, 11 / The G1000 Citizens Summit

Following months of research the manifesto’s signatories came up with a concrete model that can provide a new impetus, offering a way out of the impasse in which Belgium has been mired for many years: the G1000, a summit meeting of 1,000 of the country’s citizens, selected at random.
