How to summarize 5 days of deliberative magic in 4 images? 1. Facilitation Masterclass, 2. Hipster Coffee, 3. Democracy Fitness, 4. Karaoke. Thx to @masslbp for hosting Democracy R&D in my hometown, and including @participedia in this vibrant community of practice 🫶
Democracy R&D Conference in Vancouver hosted by @masslbp officially kicks off today, but yesterday’s extended programming was a great warmup! Our Design Tech Lead @JesiCarson is on the scene, more soon.
Rounding out the day with our Community Workshop - Beyond Participedia 2027 📝👏
Great ideas, encouraging collaboration, insightful reflection.
