Embracing deliberation as part of the democratic infrastructure

🎉Seven years ago, the Parliament of the German-speaking Community of Belgium (aka Ostbelgien) unanimously passed a decree establishing and institutionalizing a “Permanent Citizens’ Dialogue”. The cross-party agreement during the design phase contributed to political legitimacy from the outset.

Rather than viewing deliberation as a challenge to representative democracy, politicians saw it as a response to its limits, including declining trust and political polarisation.

🎥In the featured clip, Nicole De Palmenaer describes the origins of the permanent body in Ostbelgien.

The workshop was co-organised with the European Climate Foundation and KNOCA - Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies

Saving this for myself to read later. Unsettling experiment in which researchers deliberately got themselves sectioned in order to gain first-person experience of psychiatric facilities 😮

Goodbye @LaQuadrature !

10 years after co-founding La Quadrature du Net, 4 years after leaving full-time coordination and representation to progressively take distance, I quit the organization today by resigning from my membership.

Salut @LaQuadrature !!!

10 ans après avoir co-fondé la Quadrature du Net, 4 ans après en avoir quitté la coordination et représentation à temps plein pour m'en éloigner peu à peu, je quitte aujourd'hui officiellement l'association en démissionnant de mon statut de membre.

(la suite bientôt..)
