We provide support for government and community leaders who are building participatory democracy around the world.
People Powered University
People Powered University (PPU) delivers online courses and seminars designed to address common challenges.
Each online course guides participants through a learning journey, helping them understand the challenge, potential solutions, next steps, and how they can get more support. The guides for this journey are peers from organizations and institutions around the world that have led the most innovative work on the issue.
Courses are accompanied by learning activities such as info sheets and checklists.
Mentorship
We offer free coaching from experienced government and civil society leaders for government officials, staff, and advocates who want to start or grow a participatory democracy program.
The Rising Stars Mentorship Program connects experienced participatory democracy practitioners (mentors) to people seeking guidance on how to start or improve a participatory democracy program (mentees).
Resources
We collect the best participatory democracy resources from around the world and make them accessible to governments, organizations and advocates.
You can find the resources most relevant to you by filtering by type, language, country, stage of process, or institution.
