Project
I will work together with my fellow residents, the host institution and local collectives on what deliberative methodologies (which include citizens elected through a civic lottery) can contribute to the design and management of the city, and how they can be complemented with other participatory methodologies. The ultimate goal is to improve the process of public policy design and decision-making.
