Resources for Public Engagement
ICDD's mission is to build community capacity for informed, engaged, civil deliberation. Our vision is stronger democracy through enhanced public deliberation. There are many resources for having informed public deliberation. Below are resources from national partners as well as ICDD's own discussion guides used in Kansas communities.
National Discussion Resources
At the heart of a strong democracy is an active citizenship. To be an informed and engaged citizen invites the opportunity to participate in civil deliberation with others. To make this possible, ICDD shares resources from partner organizations that have developed discussion materials. This includes the National Issues Forums Institute and the Interactivity Foundation. There are topical discussion guides as well as process guides.
