At Demos, our mission to build a Collaborative Democracy feeds into our own research practices by bringing people together on contentious topics. In June, we did just that for our 'People's Town Square on Protest' to get beyond headline judgements and find areas of consensus on protest. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eK2V7w2K 🖊 In a NEW blog, Lead Researcher and co-author of the report, Hana Kapetanovic, has written up what we learnt from the deliberative process and what key steps to follow to get the best data and engagement from participants - even on contentious topics. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecnPx5TQ
