This one has been a long time in the making. Finally, we can announce that our latest 'Deliberation Ready' video is here. This edition is particularly exciting because, for the first time, we've interviewed participants from across multiple deliberative processes. Together, these 10 citizens share their unique perspectives and provide candid, first hand reflections on their journey - the challenges, the surprises, the highlights and more.
They also share invaluable advice for anyone citizen who is about to walk in their shoes and represent their community via a deliberative process. Additionally, they provide some poignant final messages for organisations and decision makers considering a deliberative process.
These 10 citizens have all taken part in a deliberative engagement process such as a community panel or citizens' jury. They kindly donated their time and we are grateful to them for their insights. Thank you to:
