Engaging engagement
Engagement is an art, and much like any art it requires practice and exercise. At Demos, we’ve been working with a new Canada-based organisation called Mass LBP. It claims to be reinventing public consultation and its premise is a simple one: that much as anyone should expect to perform jury duty at some point in their life, so everyone should expect at one point or another to be called upon to deliberate and feed into public consultation. The idea is that such consultation, such engagement should be near-routine, it should be embedded in the fabric of everyday life and the basis for everyday democracy.
