Citizens' assemblies and other democratic innovations are spreading globally, but how? In this paper, we examine the "scaling catalysts" – organisations that intentionally drive the expansion of deliberative and participatory practices in their regions.

Sammy McKinney and Claudia Chwalisz explore: What does scaling democratic deliberation mean, why is it valuable, and what is the role of AI in enabling it?

Our three-stage guide to accompany you through designing, running, and acting on the results of a citizens’ assembly - dig in, and share widely!
