Grassroots Citizen Engmt Teleconference on Tues Oct 12
From an announcement by the Canadian Institute for Dialogue and Deliberation:
A Kitchen Table Talk (by Teleconference)
Tuesday October 12th at 12 pm (ET)
Grassroots citizen engagement – What are the stories of social movements that have successfully impacted policy?
Citizen engagement frequently refers to government-initiated projects. But can it also include citizen-initiated conversations with other citizens about policy change? How can these conversations contribute to recreating government institutions that are more meaningfully inclusive of citizens and enable their involvement in policy development? Let’s share stories about grassroots citizen engagement projects and social movements that have successfully impacted policy as a way of informing the future of the People’s Food Policy Project and Discussion Paper 10 on Food Democracy and Governance.
Here is the call in information:
1-888-882-9090
code: 701-4572 #
Link to Discussion Paper 10: http://peoplesfoodpolicy.ca/policy/discussion-paper-10-food-democracy-and-governance

Attend ParticipationCamp on April 17
Fellow IAP2 and NCDD member Christoph Berendes contacted me recently about the ParticipationCamp that's taking place on Saturday, April 17 at 9am at George Washington University's MPA building, in Washington DC.
Christoph explains that the program is "highly unstructured - an attempt, really, to make the spontaneous, interest-driven "conversations in the hall" into the main event. No plenaries, no powerpoints, but rather engaged discussion and problem-solving. (A good unconference session rivals some of the best seminars and brown bag lunches I attended in graduate school.)"
Some of the topics this year include Second Life (yay!) as well as involving diverse populations, two focal areas in the work that I do. Check out the website if you're interested in learning more about ParticipationCamp; the price certainly is affordable ($20 USD for attendees, free for govt folks) for what will be a great conversation and lots of mutual discovery.
