In this webinar organised by People Powered, Marjan Ehsassi, Ph.D., with the Berggruen Institute, will draw on her experience with six citizens’ assemblies around the world, cautioning that while participation can be transformative for participants, actual practice does not consistently reflect this potential.

Adding another perspective will be Silvia Cervellini, who specialized in assessing public opinion before she co-founded Delibera Brasil, which uses mini-publics to engage citizens in government decision-making.
