The team composed of the partners of the Orbis project, involved in the development of WP2 Requirements elicitation and solutions co-creation, has completed the draft of the research document. The document presents a broad analysis of experiences and experiments in deliberative democracy activities conducted in various parts of the world.
The journey begins with a historical exploration, tracing the roots of deliberative democracy back to ancient Greece. A thorough examination of its evolution over time sets the stage for defining the operational parameters of deliberative democracy within the ORBIS research program. The research delves into and presents common practices used in deliberative democracy.
The study further investigates and highlights not only tools and practices but also fundamental principles such as participation, co-creation, inclusivity, trust, and transparency that inspire some of the most effective and widely used systems under analysis.
