The event served as a platform for exchanging views on how legislative institutions can develop more effective communication systems to support public awareness of parliamentary sessions, committee work, and official decisions.
During the conference, participants explored a range of issues related to parliamentary media engagement, the management of official information, and the growing importance of digital communication tools in modern public institutions. Discussions also focused on how communication offices within legislative bodies can help citizens better understand parliamentary processes, institutional responsibilities, and the role of elected bodies in public life.
