Since 2016, Deliberation Gateway has been evolving a network of RSA Fellows, deliberative democracy practitioners, and guest speakers. With each conversation and connection, we spin threads into a web of relationships—strengthening, strand by strand, the case for deliberation in all contexts.
On Tuesday 30th September at 3Pm EDT,I invite you to a special gathering: part mini-reunion, part future-planning, and a trial of a new RSA Fellows format. Six Fellows will present their projects, and you’ll be able to join breakout sessions for deeper conversations. This is our chance to reconnect, exchange ideas, and chart where Deliberation Gateway goes next.
Deliberation Gateway uses the RSA’s network to connect professionals across disciplines with the practice of structured public conversation. From pensions to chemical regulation, from finance to faith, we are exploring how deliberation can make an impact far beyond legislatures.
A single strand of spider silk may seem fragile. But woven together, these strands create one of the toughest materials in nature. Likewise, we believe that building a wide, interwoven network of deliberative processes—across industries, professions, and communities—will be strong and flexible; adequate to outlast the most rigid authoritarian structures.
To take part in one of our projects—or propose a new one—join us at one of our events or simply reach out.
