The project | The project utilized predominantly the extended version of [[Structured Democratic Dialogue]]. We chose this particular methodology because of its uniqueness in motivating participants and mobilizing them to take action. In addition, the SDD methodology is based on scientific laws, which have been repeatedly validated, empirically and scientifically, in the arena of practice. The process was supported by [[IdeaPrism]] and [[Cogniscope 3]], which allows cross-communication with [[IdeaPrism]]. Taking all this into consideration, the co-Laboratories of Democracy was implemented using the methodology of structured democratic dialogue. This methodology supports groups of diverse stakeholders with conflicting opinions and interests to effectively discuss a matter of joint concern, integrate their knowledge, and democratically redesign their socio-organizational systems and practices reaching consensus agreement for effective collaborative action. | ||
Using this approach, the 100 youth and citizens’ representatives developed a common language, a shared understanding of the problematic situation in which they are embedded, and is better equipped to formulate their ideas, suggestions, and strategies with clarity. The interactions empowered youth to take follow-up actions and thus ensuring their strong commitment to the project. | |||
Participants of the co-Laboratories designed and developed concrete ideas for action and have the space and support to build their own action plans around them. The facilitating team assisted the participants in identifying ways to promote their ideas, engage with political decision-makers, as well as mobilize members of the community. The manifesto, jointly drafted, will be used to engage the media encouraging them to host live debates between project participants and national or international policy makers thus connecting them with youth and citizen pioneers. | Participants of the co-Laboratories designed and developed concrete ideas for action and have the space and support to build their own action plans around them.
