Researchers at the cross-party think tank Demos will share their experiences with the online deliberation tool Polis, in a range of ways. Polis is based on freely available open-source software. It mixes a traditional poll with the ability for participants to enter their own statements for others to then vote on.

The webinar will introduce Polis, demonstrate how to set one up, and explore some of the examples of its use. Attendees will develop an understanding of Polis, be able to participate in an instance of it, and explore with Demos the strengths and limitations of this exciting participatory research tool.

This is a free event.

The webinar will be hosted via Zoom (please join with a personal computer if your work computer won't allow Zoom).
