Our method

Dare to use sortition

Drawing lots means giving all citizens an equal chance to participate in politics. Random selection guarantees the diversity of the participants and also enriches the political debate by re-establishing a dialogue with the population that usually has no direct contact with the political world.

Trust collective intelligence

The confrontation of ideas and interactions between citizens are at the heart of the deliberative process. To ensure its success, we develop and master collective intelligence methods and tools that guarantee a healthy and constructive debate.

Think long-term

Citizen participation must be seen as a long-term process. This transversal approach allows the emergence of recognized and structured projects, fully involving citizens to create a continuous democratic dialogue, and thus truly improving public policies.
