MEMBER WORKSHOPS FOR LEARNING & COLLABORATION

This series of workshops for and by members will help you learn about, support and brainstorm with each other, addressing common challenges and celebrating wins in different regions. In these workshops you can share good practices or learning with other members, for example, last year we had a workshop on ''How to Use Participatory Democracy on Electoral Campaigns'' or ''How to Design Effective Online Activities''. You can also use this space to get feedback on a project you are working on, or brainstorm ideas with other members on how to address a challenge you are facing, for example, last year the workshops ''Building a Participatory Playbook'' ''National PB Laws'' helped the teams to get feedback and move their projects forward.

For what other themes would you be interested in attending a workshop?

RESEARCH GRANTS

We will award grants for research projects that meet members’ needs. Each project will receive up to $10,000, to pay a researcher to address the member need. Please share your research needs below. The selection committee will choose 4-8 projects for funding, and then select researchers to complete them through an open application process. Once the studies are completed, the research findings and products will be shared publicly. You can learn more about the program in the project charter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1crH_hdSo9b9o1s4z-X4LQHvMtSIgRr_mnZpmDcEZ8Pg/edit?usp=sharing

Please describe the problems or challenges you face in your work. How could they be addressed or better understood through data collection and analysis?

Examples: 1. I’m implementing a school participatory budgeting process and would like to measure its impact on participants. 2. I need to evaluate a citizens’ jury process in my municipality. I would like help developing an evaluation survey. 3. Last year we launched a digital platform that we’re using for citizen sourcing / participatory policy-making. What steps can we take to improve inclusion of marginalized groups in the next cycle of the process?

New research on the issue you are facing will create new knowledge and ideas of practice. In what form do you need this new knowledge for the research to be most useful to you?

Case study

Public report or brief (Example: https://icld.se/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ICLD_Policy-Brief_22-1.pdf)

Would you like your organization to be featured?

Yes

If yes, briefly describe one initiative or program you've implemented that you think is most innovative or from which you think others could learn.

Is there a particular month this year when it would be most suitable to interview your team?
