Large-Scale Public Involvement Methods: Deliberative Polling and 21st Century Town Hall
In this workshop, you will examine two popular methods for large-scale, dialogue-based citizen engagement on public policy issues: deliberative polling and the 21st-century town hall. Both processes help citizens learn about the issues, create space for in-depth discussion, and generate detailed feedback on public policy options.
