The Reinventing Democracy in the Digital Era project is using predominantly a methodology of dialogue known as Structured Democratic Dialogue.
The methodology is very structured as far as the process is concerned and very democratic as far as the content is concerned. We chose this particular methodology because of its uniqueness in truly engaging participants. It utilizes the latest developments in complexity and systems science to harness the collective intelligence and the collective wisdom of those participating. It helps youth and citizens’ representatives develop a common language, a shared understanding of the problematic situation in which they are embedded, and equips them with knowledge to formulate their ideas, suggestions, and strategies with clarity. The interactions empower youth to take follow-up actions and thus ensuring their strong commitment to global sustainable change.
The literature describes some variations in the way this methodology is applied. For this project, the following standard is being used.
Before joining a Co-Laboratory of Democracy
The selection and the preparation of those who end up as participants in the Co-Laboratory of Democracy is a vigorous process. Potential candidates must apply and must prepare.
During the Co-Laboratory of Democracy
During a week long meeting, participants go through different Phase of the Process:
Phase 1: Discovery Phase
Phase 2: be oOne session is called Structured Democratic Dialogue Process (SDDP) and it is separated in distinct Phases.
After the Co-Laboratory of Democracy
Participants of the co-Laboratories will design and develop concrete ideas for action and will have the space and support to build their own action plans around them. The facilitating team will assist the participants in identifying ways to promote their ideas, engage with political decision-makers, as well as mobilize members of the community. A manifesto,jointly drafted, will be used toengage the media encouraging them to host live debates between project participants and national or international policy makers thus connecting them with youth and citizen pioneers.
