Deliberative democracy has a key role to play in the future social and political cohesion of Australian and global societies. If you’re keen to learn best practice methods of designing and delivering these processes, join us in this dynamic, interactive online course.
The information, activities, group work and live webinars in this course will guide you through in-depth learning about key elements to consider when designing a deliberative process. These elements include the role of the facilitator, the phases of a deliberative process, including navigating the process of consensus building and consideration of the various tools and techniques that support deliberation. Together with a cohort of your peers and guided by experts, learn to design and deliver deliberative processes such as mini-publics and citizen assemblies.
You will get to design a deliberative process from start to finish and experience the process of deliberation and consensus building in action. You will also get to know the essential underpinnings and explore new challenges such as online deliberative processes. The course has been developed in conjunction with the newDemocracy Foundation, enabling us to draw on the organisation’s extensive project experience in Australia and internationally.
