It's really notable now how often discussions on threats to democracy include a pointer to deliberative methods, like citizens' assemblies, as an important part of the response - great to see that shift Claudia Chwalisz Graham Allen Sarah Castell Miriam Levin Suzanne Hall

Great to see Demos Director of Participatory Programmes Miriam Levin featured in this excellent article on what the the future of deliberative democracy could look like under a Labour government.

Plenty of food for thought from Demos’ excellent panel on #CollaborativeDemocracy - Apolitical Foundation’s Lisa Witter Claudia Chwalisz from DemocracyNext and Georgia Gould, Leader of Camden Council - very firmly chaired by Demos’ Miriam Levin #CollaborativeDemocracy Network

Demos Hello, I’m now following you.

Congratulations to you and especially your Chair, Miriam Levin for expertly hosting today’s event ‘Local to Global: Innovations in Collaborative Democracy’. I’m pleased to have been able to attend in person

Miriam Levin 'There’s many reasons for the huge decline in trust in politics, political institutions & politicians, but people feeling like they have no stake in the decisions that are made in Westminster is one element - and something that we can do something about.'

🗣️Miriam Levin

'Whitehall policy making can feel like a black box system where the people most affected by the policies have no role in helping to determine what the right questions are to ask, nor in coming up with solutions that might help.'

🗣️Miriam Levin

Looking forward to today's Collaborative Democracy Network event Demos, where we're lucky to be joined by Lisa Witter Claudia Chwalisz Georgia Gould talking about what the Westminster can lean from global and local democratic innovations. Join us in person or online👇👇👇

Good to see Demos publication on the everyday harms caused by poor NHS communication used by Dan Wellings The King's Fund. Poor comms is big driver of dissatisfaction and reducing people's confidence in the NHS. If you can't even get my appointment letter right...

Absolutely! Communications and administration should be easier to sort out but the issue just has to be prioritised...

Looking forward to this! If you're in London, come join us on 8 April with Demos DemocracyNext Lisa Witter Apolitical Foundation Georgia Gould Miriam Levin
