DEMO TALKS: LEARNING FROM PRACTICE, AMONG
PEERS.

What does it mean to design an effective convening? How is participation sustained beyond the deliberative moment? What lessons can we draw from contexts as diverse as Nairobi, Bogotá, and Phnom Penh?

With Demo.Talks, we open practical and strategic conversations about citizen participation and deliberative democracy from the Global South. They're more than just talks: they're open spaces for everyone where you'll find thematic series organized by key stages of deliberative processes. Each one is designed to give you something applicable—a tool, a warning, an inspiration.
