This past March, a deep-dive workshop on Citizens Juries, Citizens Assemblies, and sortition was put on by members of Democracy R&D at the Innovations in Participatory Democracy Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. I have posted the full video recording of the workshop as a playlist on YouTube.
The full-day event was geared toward practitioners and included:
- An overview of sortition and its increasing use around the world by David Schecter (newDemocracy Foundation) – Part 1
- A walk-through of how to convene Citizens Juries by Kyle Bozentko (Jefferson Center) – Part 2
- A discussion about the challenges of trying to scale sortition-based practices like Oregon’s Citizens Initiative Review without losing integrity of the process, led by Tyrone Reitman (Policy Jury Group and formerly Healthy Democracy) – Part 3
- Engaging Q&A with people working in different contexts and countries – in all videos and especially Part 4
