Co-create

The top-down approach to policy-making separates policy beneficiaries from policymakers. As a result, people do not feel connected to policies or tools originally intended to serve them. To bridge the gulf between the public sector and people, it is crucial to provide a space that brings all stakeholders to collaborate with one another on policy design. For example, the EU Policy Lab engages people and other stakeholders in addressing important policy issues. With insights drawn directly from future policy beneficiaries, together they create tailor-made frameworks for formulating and experimenting with different policies.
