#citizenassembly — Public Fediverse posts

Desperate about politics as usual? We know the feeling...

Assemblies are one way that ordinary people are re-imagining how politics could be. In these times, the way we listen to one another, think creatively together and decide on our best next steps is crucial to do better.

Politics as usual deadens our ability to respond and care: new politics brings us together and uses processes that take us beyond polarisation into a deeper understanding of one another and our world.

Join us this evening at 7.30pm to hear more about how this could work where you live - and how the Transition Assembly in February could bring our movement together to re-imagine and re-create the future...

Next day of the #CitizenAssembly . Today we are supposed to come up with ideas and projects

#Tallinn #GreenCapital

Totally exhausted after day one. Lots of information. Three languages.

I did not kearn much new stuff today. And I do not see yet, what we are supposed to come up with. But we‘ll see.

Tomorrow is the next meeting
#GreenCapital #CitizenAssembly #Tallinn

So it is quite difficult to follow the event in three languages and write here.

I will try to tell later. The principle is: Experts presentation for 15 minutes. After that discussion at our table. Then we can ask 5 questions which the experts answer.

The language challenge is big.

Interesting question: Can we craft during the assembly like @knitting?

Will it disturb others?

The goal is that #Tallinn will be the green capital of the world in 2035

This is our itinerary today

#GreenCapital #CitizenAssembly #Tallinn

The assembly is held in Estonian but there are simultaneous translations into Russian and English.

I am a little bit nervous because I have never had to listen to a translation over headphones for a whole day.

We received some presents: a note book. a pencil with flower seeds in the end of it. And reflectors.

And we should answer a survey about the assembly

I am participating today in the #GreenCapital #CitizenAssembly of #Tallin And I will try to tell something about my experience here.
So mute the hashtags accordingly because it might get too much.
