THE PURPOSE

We are looking for you to be part of the new wave of deliberative democracy in the Global South!

About this project

In collaboration with the global office of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the Extituto de Política Abierta in Colombia, Demo.Reset is created in 2022, a community of practice that articulates multiple actors in the global south. This project is an opportunity to observe, connect and learn to strengthen deliberative processes from the strategies and skills woven collaboratively in different contexts.

We recognize existing solutions, proposals and practices in the global south in order to nurture current forms of governance. We strengthen the unique practices of each context and find common ground between institutional models of deliberation and these other narratives.

It is time to transform democracy from new narratives of the Global South.

WHERE

As a result of the contributions we had in DEMO.RESET 1.0, we believe it is important that these spaces remain open. If you are or know of an organization working to strengthen democracy, we encourage you to sign up now!

Be part of this network of deliberative democracy in the Global South.

I want to participate

The moment we have been waiting for is here, the “Demo.Talks” master-classes that bring together experts from different parts of the world to share their knowledge on deliberative democracy, innovation, activism and many other topics. topics.

Go to master class

Every quarter we will send our ON.Reset, where you will find:
1. How we are doing (findings and current project agenda).
2. What’s coming up (what are our next events).
3. Recommendations of the month (three articles that will contribute to the knowledge).

FAQ

The project will be held simultaneously in English and Spanish.

Demo.Reset requires availability of time and trained personnel for the realization of the project, therefore, we seek to connect directly with organizations that have these capabilities and that have worked in political and democratic innovation.

In the early stages of the project we will work for about 2 and 6 hours per week.

DELIBERATION

Deliberation is understood as a conversation among diverse actors and with diverse opinions in which space, time, methodologies and procedures are available so that the actors involved can carefully consider the pros and cons of a decision before adopting it, seek the best ways to express their opinions and/or influence the decisions of local authorities on a topic of common interest.

DIFFERENTIAL

  • The differential of the practices is related in the first place to the specific community origin of those who develop them: Indigenous peoples, LGTBIQ+ Communities, collectives or other forms of association and collaboration between young people, women and social movements.
  • The differential of the practices is related in second place; with the singular forms, procedures, aesthetics and rituals, which have been developed by the communities to carry out conversations, processes of informed decision making and actions of influence on local authorities. In this context, the differential is centered on recognizing and mapping the aspects of each practice: How does the word circulate, what procedures are used to better “understand” the problems among all those involved, what role do bodies, images, symbols, other aesthetics play, how is the memory of what is said constructed, how are spaces distributed so that the conversation is conducive, how is time managed for the conversation, are decisions made, how is the conversation carried out, and how is it carried out?

PRACTICE

It is that methodology, process, space and/or tool developed and implemented by communities and civil society organizations with the intention of convening spaces for conversation and decision making on issues of common interest; among community members and/or with local authorities in which it is intended to achieve some kind of collective influence.
