π§ We published our latest podcast on the significance of citizen engagement in parliamentary processes!
ποΈ With our guest, Professor Cristina Leston-Bandeira we discuss the need for deliberative practices to rebuild public trust and ensure that parliaments remain relevant in modern democracies. She outlines the importance of translating citizen recommendations into actionable policies, the effectiveness of various deliberative methods, and strategies for engaging underrepresented groups.
π£οΈ Professor Leston-Bandeira is Chair of IPEN, the International Parliament Engagement Network, a network that brings together academics and practitioners from across the world to share practices on public engagement and discuss ways to enhance it.
π This podcast is an introduction to the fifth Deliberative Poll that EPI is preparing together with the Deliberative Democracy Lab from Stanford University, that will be done in the spring in cooperation with the Assembly of North Macedonia.
