Stadspodium

Stadspodium is a citizen’s initiative that stimulates and facilitates conversation and debate between Utrecht residents about important topics in the city since 2015. They do this by organizing podium evenings where Utrecht residents discuss topics that are important, relevant or urgent to them with each other and with all relevant stakeholders. Stadspodium also gives residents who rarely or don’t participate in dialogue or debate a space to become involved, making sure everyone is seen and heard, thereby contributing to broadening and deepening local democracy. Next to the city-wide podium evenings, Stadspodium also organises smaller-scale pop-up conversations with neighborhood and citizen’s initiatives.
