If you are an IPEN member who uses deliberative democracy methods as part of your role in parliament or academic research, you are invited to join us for our next ‘deliberative democracy check-in’.
The aim of this IPEN group is to provide a safe space for those currently planning or involved in deliberative democracy projects to get together to seek advice, share good ideas and generally provide moral and practical support.
The ‘check-in’ is chaired by Chris Shaw (Clerk of the Home Affairs Committee, UK House of Commons, and IPEN Executive Team member) and will take place in MS Teams.
It is open to IPEN members who might be able to offer the benefit of their experience, or who just want to hear more. Full details of the topic for the January ‘check-in’ and how to register can be found in our MS Teams space.
Is your work or research connected to deliberative democracy methods?
If your work or research is connected to the theme of deliberative democracy, you are very welcome to apply to join the International Parliament Engagement Network (IPEN).
The network brings together academics, parliamentary officials and third sector representatives from across the world, to promote collaboration and encourage knowledge sharing around parliaments and public engagement.
