\nThe NCDD’s Resource Center<\/a> offers “2,600 resources on dialogue & deliberation.” As they note, that volume can be “a bit overwhelming.” Thus they offer a new Beginner\u2019s Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThis site<\/a> is a portal to “descriptions of more than 150 tools and methods used for dialogue and deliberation.”<\/p>\n
\nSign up for this preconference session<\/a> before the \u201cFrontiers of Democracy\u201d conference, which I’m co-organizing. The presentations, panels, small-group discussion, and a home movie will help participants think through: the strengths and weaknesses of how public participation happens in their community; the key questions they need to ask about the history and patterns of engagement; the building blocks they might consider in their planning for stronger local democracy; and what a number of national associations are doing to inspire, learn about, and support local democracy-strengthening work. Among the people who will be sharing their insights and updates at the workshop will be: Carolyne Abdullah, Everyday Democracy; Kristen Cambell, National Conference on Citizenship; Mike Huggins, National Civic League; Eric Gordon, Engagement Game Lab; Linda Nguyen, Alliance for Children and Families; and Wendy Willis, Policy Consensus Initiative.<\/p>\n
\nOur colleague John Gaventa, now at the Coady International Institute in Nova Scotia and a former Tisch Research Prize winner<\/a> (among has many other awards) has been named<\/a> by Queen Elizabeth to the Order of the British Empire. By the way, John will be speaking to the “Frontiers” conference by remote video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
