You can download our Questionnaires for the respective country you would like to do the PG in, and People’s Gatherings Pack on the page. Pick the question(s) you are interested in answering in your Gathering, and then read the Kit for advice on how to host it. 

Yes, you do. Find out more about registering here.

Anyone! We value all opinions and would like to hear as many different voices as possible. That means participants of any age, nationality, level of education are encouraged to take part in Gatherings! You might just find that the red questions require additional support in the form of educational materials or the consultation of experts.

 We want everyone to be heard even on the most technical topics! However, we also understand that some questions might look daunting at first. For the red questions, we suggest that you reach out to experts. Alternatively, you can ask fellow DiEMers for help in the forum!

We are interested to hear about anyone in your community — your family, friends, colleagues or other people in your area that you think would be interesting to engage with! You could also reach out to your local DSC and get fellow DiEMers on board.

This is up to you to decide! These Gatherings can be as little or as big as you want, but we recommend having 3-8 people per Gathering. Just keep in mind that the larger it is, the longer it might take, and the more you’ll need to moderate. Download our Kit for more information. 

All Gatherings must abide by the COVID measures of the country in which they are hosted. Check the current measures online and try and think of creative ways to engage your participants that fit within these limitations. Read through our Kit for more advice!

Yes. Gatherings can take place online — through Zoom, Jitsi, Discord, via online gaming platforms or any other creative and innovative means!

We’ve tried to leave it as open ended as possible, but the essentials are for the organiser to take on a moderating role, and for someone to document the responses to the questions to keep track of what’s being said and transcribe it into the reporting form later.

After the Gathering, you should fill in the reporting form with all the answers you gathered during your meeting. If you think you have an interesting experience to share, you can record it in the ‘miscellaneous’ section of the form or can contact [email protected] and we’ll make a post on our website about it!

We’ll have a close look at all the answers we received from Gatherings across Europe and build our national political programmes from it. If you’d like to help us to that, fill in this form to show your interest.

When it comes to the People’s Gatherings participants, DiEM25 does not collect any personal data, only statistics (e.g. number of participants) and the collective conclusion. If anyone at a People’s Gathering asks you to give them data on yourself, know that they are not doing so on behalf of DiEM25 and you have the right to refuse. In case photos or videos are taken, everyone has to agree to their use in writing, and has the right to withdraw their consent at any moment by writing to the organiser.

If you’re still unsure of something, contact us at [email protected].
