Over 1,000 citizens’ assemblies (CAs) have been held worldwide since 2004. But what happens after the recommendations are delivered — to policy, to communities, and to the people who participated? Join People Powered for a webinar that brings together researchers and practitioners to share the latest findings and lessons learned from cases where assemblies have driven real policy change, as well as those where results have proved more elusive, including what we've learned about effective advocacy and assembly design.

The Civics of Technology (CoT) project aims to empower students and educators to critically inquire into the effects of technologies on their individual and collective lives. Join them for their 5th Annual Civics of Technology conference with keynote speakers Dr. Meredith Broussard and Ms. Natasha Singer.

Over three days, participants will dive into issues at the intersection of digital democracy, open-source technology and democratic empowerment. The programme features demo runs of the CONSUL platform, workshops on devising citizen participation processes, panel exchanges with case studies from cities and regions across Europe, Latin America and Africa, tech talks on open-source ecosystems and AI for participation platforms, and keynotes on the democratic potential of civic technology. Confirmed keynote speakers include Roman Huber (Executive Federal Director, Mehr Demokratie and co-initiator of Germany's first national citizens' assemblies), Sophie Bloemen (Co-founder and Director, Commons Network) and Joe Mathews (Founder-publisher, Democracy Local and democracy fellow, Berggruen Institute).
