#OECD online event: Catching the Deliberative Wave


Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (#OECD) online event

My Question
Is there a mobile (cellphone) application-platform, where citizens can deliberate on specific issues of their concern?

Franziska Maier
Hi Vasilis, this is not connected to institutionalized democracy at all, but I think it’s quite a cool idea of how to structure online deliberation that is accessible to just tune in for anyone: https://www.kialo.com/

Thank you for sharing! We are trying to develop one, mostly through participating in Hackathons. This site might also be a good help in this direction :)

Description
The "deliberative wave" has been building since the 1980s, gaining momentum since around 2010. Public authorities across the world and at all levels of government have used around 300 Citizens’ Assemblies, Juries, and Panels to involve citizens in tackling complex policy problems. They convene groups of people representing a wide cross-section of society for numerous days to learn, deliberate, and develop collective recommendations. ​

At this event, we will discuss the relevance of the new OECD report findings in the context of the COVID-19 crisis and explore how public deliberation can be institutionalised to make it an ongoing part of how public decisions are taken, such as the world’s first permanent Citizens’ Council in Ostbelgien.​
