✅5 ways for citizens' assemblies to have more impact on participants, from @MEhsassi of @berggruenInst, on @PeoplePowrd #DemoPart research to practice talk:
1. more time for people to consider the mandate/remit before hearing from experts
2. extra time for group lunches

When citizens’ assemblies ask big questions like “What should we do about climate change?” they ignore the reality of what policy windows are actually open, which does an injustice to participants. #OIDP2022 #DemoPart @Smith1966G

While the US debates whether to remove a President who directs an armed attack on his own capitol, Scotland is convening a national Citizens Assembly to address climate change.

Ashamed to observe the former, honored to observe the later. #demopart

Successful end to the People’s Panel - range of recommendations on what Scotland should do differently to reduce drug harms have been produced alongside a comprehensive collective statement. A mammoth effort from the team. #demopart

Fantastic evening exploring prevention of drug harm with the People’s Panel.

The use of open space to have participants interact with 5 excellent speakers worked well and we have a range of ideas that could form recommendations.
