This presentation considered the following questions:
How and why do people participate?
How ready and willing are citizens to engage in democracy, and why?
What does this mean for representative, deliberative and participatory democracy?
Discussions of different models of democracy often fail to consider what involvement citizens say they want, and if, how and why they are willing to participate. Any form of democracy is shallow without the active participation of citizens. If democracy is to be deepened, it is important that we understand where citizens are now, including what starts and stops them taking a more active role in democracy.
As citizens have become more disillusioned with their elected representatives, the vast majority have not been calling out to participate in other ways. The Hansard Society’s ninth Audit of Political Engagement found satisfaction with the system of governing to be at its lowest level since the Audit began in 2004, but also found frequency of discussing politics and signing a petition to also be at an all time low, while the proportion of citizens who say they would like to be very involved or fairly involved in national decision making had declined from 42% to 33% since the previous audit.
Involve, NCVO and IVR’s Pathways through Participation research explored people’s experiences and perceptions of participation, how and why they participate and what the barriers are to increased active citizenship. This paper will explore the lessons from this and other research and argue that a combination of representative, participatory and deliberative democracy, underpinned by a number of principles, offer the best way of engaging citizens and deepening democracy.

Mary Reid: "Elected representatives and community engagement"InvolveFoundation
Mary Reid, a former (and undefeated) councillor, mayor and cabinet member in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames discusses elected representatives and community engagement.
Jane Lewis, from Woodward-Lewis and Susan Ritchie, an Involve associate and director of Mutual Gain, give an introduction to Positive Deviance – a problem solving approach within communities based on the observation that through their uncommon (or deviant) behaviour some individuals and groups within communities develop better solutions to problems than others – explain how it works and when to use the approach.
Edward Andersson, Deputy Director of Involve, reflects on where engagement is heading in a time of Localism and Austerity, looks at creative methods of engagement and gives advice on when and how they should be used.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
This presentation by Morris Kleiner (University of Minnesota), was made during the discussion “Competition and Regulation in Professions and Occupations” held at the Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 10 June 2024.
