E-Democracy
has special expertise in designing, developing and facilitating online
political discussions and online special events. If you are interested
in future training opportunities, please
contact us. We have an exciting training program available on
Issues Forums developed
with the support of the UK government.
If
you are interested
in building an online voter guide read How
to Make an Online Voter Guide from the California
Voter Foundation. If you would like to build an effort like
E-Democracy,
the article Building
Citizen-based Electronic Democracy Efforts contains a number of
tips.
Below
are a number
of resources for those interested in building effective online spaces
and
events for political discourse. What we do is fairly rare, but
universal
lessons can be applied from many online discussions, except that
issue-based
political conflict is something we foster while many online
facilitiation
guides often suggest this is something to avoid. Because we bring
hetrogenous groups with political views from across the political
spectrum
our job is inherently more difficult than most. So read up and
prepare
to give your fellow citizens a voice in their communities.
