Culture of engagement: Nordic leaders panel

Every engagement professional knows this frustration: you launch a consultation, promote it widely, and once again see the same familiar faces while your broader community stays silent.

But what separates municipalities that break through this barrier from those that remain stuck?

Join us for an exclusive webinar featuring four Scandinavian leaders in public engagement from the Go Vocal community – Helsingborg (SE), Lahti (FI), Oslo (NO), and Hillerød (DK).

Discover how these municipalities have moved beyond one-off consultations to create systematic approaches that consistently deliver meaningful participation and measurable policy impact.

What’s on the agenda?

During a panel discussion moderated by Wietse van Ransbeeck, CEO and co-founder of Go Vocal, our panelists will share how they've levelled up their organizations' engagement efforts and increased resident trust by working on:

• Leadership ambition and support – How to get political and leadership buy-in for engagement.
• Internal organization and processes – How to adapt structures and workflows to prioritize participation.
• Skills and resources – How to empower teams with the right capacity to deliver.

Why attend?

• Hear directly from peers in Scandinavian local government who are making engagement work.
• Access exclusive insights from Go Vocal's community that move beyond theory and turn ambition into action, inspiring hundreds of successful engagement initiatives throughout Europe.
• Understand the enablers of success: technology, leadership, and organizational readiness.
• Network with engagement professionals across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

Whether you’re leading engagement strategy, designing processes, or supporting teams in your municipality, this is an opportunity to gain practical insights from trailblazers in the field.
