Our team
G1000 brings together a bunch of people with diverse talents and expertise, driven by the same goal: doing democracy better.
Operational team
David Van Reybrouck
Historian and writer, David initiated the 2011 Citizen Summit. He is the author of the manifesto "Against Elections". He was involved in the creation of the Citizen Dialogue in the German-speaking Community and other assemblies in Europe. His creativity and expertise drive the G1000's work.
Ben Eersels
Ben is the guardian of G1000's mission and vision. His strong analytical and organisational skills move projects forward. The positive impact of G1000's work is an inexhaustible motivation for him.
Isabelle Dresse
The autonomy and dignity of the person are essential to her. Isabelle also believes in the importance of institutions and the creative power of the group. Her challenge is to explain how deliberative democracy brings all these elements together.
Jonathan Piron
Jonathan manages his projects with a solid background in political science. As a curious person, Jonathan follows with interest the latest trends in democracy, of course, but also in ecology, digitalization, and more.
