New Deliberative Facilitation Training Programme

From
July 2, 2026

FIDE-Europe and We Do Democracy have launched a new Deliberative Facilitation Training programme that will run through September. The programme which combines on-line and in-person sessions will enable practitioners to take full responsibility for the design, execution, and integrity of a complete deliberative process.

The aim is that participants will:

· Be equipped to design a citizens’ assembly from start to finish (from remit to run-sheet).

· Understand how to curate balanced information and design a learning journey for diverse assembly members.

· Have advanced, practiced skills in mediation, managing dysfunctions, and large-scale dialogue.

· Receive targeted feedback from an international trainer team, including Yves Dejaeghere (FIDE), Zakia Elvang (We Do Democracy), and Jacob Birkenhäger.

· Be part of an international community of practice for deliberative facilitators

The curriculum draws on FIDE’s Competence Model for Lead Deliberative Facilitators

Apply to the Lead Facilitator Masterclass by 31 July
