On Friday, 23 May, the Saeima will host a parliament and NGO forum dedicated to our country’s vision for the future, entitled “Latvia 2050 – Let's Build It Together!”.

Representatives of civil society and parliamentarians will come together to assess what we have learned from the rapid changes in the world and the various crises we have experienced in recent years, and how new knowledge and experience can make us stronger and more resilient. Forum participants will discuss what kind of future we want to see for Latvia in 25 years and what we can do together today to ensure Latvia’s continuity, the development of the Latvian language, identity and culture, and the increased prosperity of our people.

The event will be opened by Daiga Mieriņa, Speaker of the Saeima, and Regita Zeiļa, Member of the Board at Civic Alliance – Latvia and Director of the Social Entrepreneurship Association of Latvia.

Inspirational stories about the role of civil involvement in the sustainability of the state will be shared by historian Gatis Krūmiņš, Leading Researcher at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Inna Šteinbuka, Chair of the Latvian Fiscal Discipline Council and professor at the University of Latvia, and Ieva Morica, Executive Director of the DOTS Foundation for an Open Society.

Afterwards, in several parallel thematic discussions, forum participants will share their views on important topics in the context of "Latvia – 2050", such as the economy, sustainable entrepreneurship, security, education, social issues, reproduction of the nation, health, democracy, cohesion and culture.

The second part of the event will provide a summary of the thematic discussions. The forum will be concluded with addresses by Antoņina Ņenaševa, Deputy Speaker of the Saeima, and Kristīne Zonberga, Director of Civic Alliance – Latvia.

The Saeima and NGO Forum will begin at 10:30 on Friday, May 23. The Forum will be broadcast live from the Baltic Hall of the Saeima on the parliament’s website www.saeima.lv, Facebook account, and YouTube channel.

Civil society engagement plays a key role in the daily work of the Saeima, in assessing legislative initiatives and providing suggestions for their improvement.
