About this Opportunity
CrowdDoing Deliberative Democracy Project Management Volunteer
CrowdDoing is aiming to address democratic deficits through deliberative democracy approaches:

This volunteer role is to help us discover grants CrowdDoing could be eligible for to support deliberative social innovation.
"This process can enhance decision-making for almost any group, including global multi-national companies - geographically dispersed and multi-lingual - as well as companies with more regionally concentrated workforces. It works even when there are deeply divided cultures, and challenges for which the group has not thought through the complexities before the process begins. Because considered judgments of populations are more likely to be sustained than top-of-the-head opinion, the process can create a deeper form of stakeholder buy-in. It allows resilient solutions to be identified, accepted and sustained over time. It can engage the collective intelligence of the workers or the clients of a corporation and provide decision makers with a data driven basis for choices that might otherwise be dominated by anecdotes and impressions."
