Citizen Assembly
What is the future of citizen participation? Some say that citizen assembly is the answer.
Assemblies have received increasing attention in recent years as they proved to be helpful when dealing with the most troublesome policies while also preserving our democratic ideals. Members of citizen assemblies are chosen randomly and they are not necessarily experts in a given field, but what matters is that this selection is representative of the wider populations in terms of age, gender, education level, etc.
The benefits of citizen assemblies come as follows: - citizen deliberation helps citizens to understand the complexity of policy dilemmas; - they help local governments to tap into the collective intelligence; - people can take unpopular decisions if needed; - they restore the trust in democratic institutions.
If you want to learn more, CitizenLab has prepared an article about opportunities that citizen assembly might provide the local community with.
Moreover, if you are interested in launching a citizen assembly, CitizenLab platform offers an online workshop feature that proves well with deliberations.
