Bridging the divide: Legislative lessons for policy making in polarized contexts

On October 20, all members of OPeN will co-host this year’s GLOW virtual plenary, “Bridging the divide: Legislative lessons for policy making in polarized contexts”. The high-level conversation, to be conducted in English, will be moderated by María Baron, the Global Executive Director of Directorio Legislativo and current Chair of the OGP Board of Directors, who will be joined by Irina Pruidze (former Member of the Georgian Parliament), Ledia Hanifa (Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives), Saphire Longmore (Senator of Jamaica), and other open parliament champions. They will share their experiences of navigating through highly divisive issues and shed light on how they address increasing social and political polarization by exploring the different tools and opportunities that could help build consensus in legislative debates.
