Deliberative Democracy  

Giving power back to the people by going beyond elections. Deliberative democracy entails a series of approaches and theories that aim at giving real agency to the citizens by enabling them to discuss and deliberate based on reason and evidences. 

Some of the topics/themes under this are centered on:  

• The different forms and ways of doing deliberation at grassroots level. 

• Review of some of the best practices in terms of implementing local citizens assemblies.  

Through this area, The Good Leadership Academy will help participants answer the following questions:  

• Why is deliberative democracy so important for me and for the society? 

• What are the links between deliberative practices and localization of the SDGs. 

• How can I start implementing some deliberation centered initiatives?
