Why Democratic Society?

For me, strengthening democracy and advancing inclusive governance is essential, especially in today’s complex and uncertain world. It’s what motivates my work at Demsoc every day. Through inclusive, participatory processes, we help reinforce democratic foundations while supporting a just and resilient climate transition.

Where I’m based: 

Brussels, Belgium.

Languages I speak: 

French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and a little bit of Dutch.

Profile

Inès brings a strong background from her time working in the Belgian government, along with deep experience in participatory and deliberative democracy. Most recently, she led the Citizen Engagement programme during the Belgian EU Presidency, where she helped put citizens at the heart of European decision-making.

At Demsoc, as our Policy & City Support Coordinator, Inès will support the coordination of the NetZeroCities project, part of the EU Cities Mission, which helps European cities progress toward climate neutrality by 2030. She’ll be contributing to our mission of catalysing meaningful change by enhancing stakeholder collaboration and citizen engagement.
