🌲🤝📚 "Two search engines that nobody uses team up to build a search index that nobody will use. It's like watching two kids with plastic shovels trying to dig a tunnel to China. But hey, at least they're 'democratic' about it. 😂🇪🇺"

🚫 We are leaving X.

It has been a long due decision. Over a year ago, as X’s degradation became clear, we opened this Mastodon account to transition our followers gradually. Despite our consistent posting, building an active, engaged community on Mastodon has proven challenging, and we continue to work towards a vibrant space for public dialogue.

X has become a hub for rising hate speech, misinformation, and toxic behavior, eroding its capacity to support constructive discourse and democratic values. These developments strike at the heart of what FIDE stands for, and we can no longer endorse a platform that disregards the principles of respectful, inclusive dialogue.

With this announcement, we call on others to support online spaces that uphold democratic values—platforms where respect, truth, and inclusivity prevail. Let’s build communities that prioritize the integrity of information and open, diverse engagement.

🆕 We are thrilled to share how we can learn —together— to renew our democracies!

This documentary showcases our global efforts to build a future where citizens shape decisions—across continents and cultures. True democratic renewal demands more than participation—it requires equipping a new generation of leaders, professionals, and public servants with the skills to design and facilitate these democratic innovations effectively.

Over the last few years, we have built a community of practice around Citizens' Assemblies. Watch the video to learn more, and join us!

Let's spread the word about the power of deliberation!

📌 SAVE THE DATE

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with deliberativa.org to host the upcoming Autumn School on Citizens' Assemblies in Barcelona on October 17-18, 2024.

Join us for a transformative training opportunity where local and international experts will guide you through the fundamentals of Citizens' Assemblies. Over two days, we will cover every step of the design and implementation process through interactive formats and insights from experts across Europe.

The Autumn School is part of the Expanded Forum on Deliberation, Creativity, and Democracy (Foro Expandido sobre Deliberación, Creatividad y Democracia) taking place during the same week, with more exciting events soon to be announced. This is an initiative by local actors promoting citizen participation and deliberative democracy in Spain and Portugal.

We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona this autumn!

🗨 ''There is a lot of deliberation happening around, especially in Europe. But there aren’t enough opportunities to learn from each other’s experiences."

Participants from 19 different countries joined us last year in Milan for the first Spring School on Climate Citizens' Assemblies.

🚨Last week to register for the 2024 Spring School in Budapest 🔜 https://www.fide.eu/spring-school-2024

#DeliberativeSchools #DemocraticInnovation #CitizensAssemblies #DeliberativeDemocracy

🌷Meet our speakers for Spring School on Climate Citizens’ Assemblies 2024.

After the introductory sessions, Kelly McBride from TPXimpact | B Corp™ will explore the power and implications of the mandate given to Citizens' Assemblies.

Kelly has contributed to organizing deliberative processes, including the Citizens' Assembly of Scotland and Scotland's Climate Assembly. The Scotland Climate Change Act of 2019 led to the creation of a Citizens’ Assembly to advise on Scottish Climate policy.

👣Starting with Kelly's session, every step of the Spring School programme is an assembly building block.

Come envision and exercise the implementation of your deliberative process.
