Citizen Assemblies

Citizen Assemblies explore the power of deliberative democracy in creating impactful change for communities of any size.

A Citizen Assembly is a representative group of citizens who are selected at random from the population to learn about, deliberate upon, and make recommendations in relation to a particular issue or set of issues. This approach ensures a group of people who are broadly representative of the electorate, allowing for more nuanced positions and a better understanding of the trade-offs inherent in a given decision. Deliberation is key to this process, emphasizing the importance of reflection and informed discussion in decision-making.

At SocialFokus, we design, facilitate and organise Citizen Assemblies to provide an effective way for citizens to have their voices heard, and for elected officials to make informed decisions.
