Across North America and around the world, public deliberations - like citizens assemblies, community panels, civic juries, and more - are gaining momentum. This Discovery Series will showcase real-world successes, share key design principles you can apply to your own engagement work, and feature lessons learned from leaders of recent public deliberation projects in America, Canada, and beyond.
“The Why” for the series
Around the US, and across the world, there’s an increase in public deliberations in governance. This series is about putting a spotlight on the principles and practices behind this engagement work, so that practitioners can strengthen their own work. It will also help prepare engagement leaders to support deliberations should one be held in your own jurisdiction.
Overview
Public participation seems harder than ever, due in part to polarized communities, fiscal constraints, and lowered trust in public institutions. One response that is gaining momentum around North America, and the world, is public deliberations: citizens assemblies, community panels, civic jury, and more.
This Discovery Series will showcase successes in bringing communities together to wrestle with infrastructure, economy, managing growth, etc.
Learn key design principles you can apply to your own engagement work, and hear lessons learned from leaders of recent public deliberation projects held in America, Canada, and beyond.
