The document reports on research into why and how individuals participate in democracy through activities like voting, community organizing, and contacting politicians, finding that participation is shaped by individual motivations and resources as well as social relationships, perceptions of impact and accessibility of opportunities to participate. The research concludes that participation can be encouraged by making opportunities more accessible and responsive to what motivates people, showing the impact of engagement, and addressing barriers like a lack of time, money or trust in the political system.

Participation is the act of participating, or being related to a larger whole.
Participation means the act of sharing, involving in any activity.
Another word for this is involvement. A person can enjoy participation in a club, a celebration, or even a conversation

A presentation on how to write a great press release and pitch it to media / bloggers. The presentation focuses on different aspects of a press release, media, journalists, type of story, journalists behavior patterns and client expectations.
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.
3 12 2008 Myths & Realities Of Democratic Trustee Governance Of Public Commun...michelletscott
This study examines the public engagement practices of the public community college boards of trustees. The trustees’ perceptions of public engagement were pursued through inquiry within five categories: (a) role and responsibilities, (b) definition of public engagement, (c) public engagement practices, (d) barriers to public engagement, and (e) how to make public engagement more effective. The results of study emerged within five major thematic areas, which have implications for theory and practice—(a) trustee roles, (b) trustee relationships with the public, (c) administrative and organizational structures, (d) leadership, and (e) policy which have implications for theory and practice. Finally, the three key conclusions of this study are (a) trustees do not identify deliberative public engagement as a role priority or a default priority; (b) the role of trustees must be reframed and redefined to include democratic public engagement practices; and (c) the public's role in democratic governance must be reclaimed.

Community participation is about ensuring meaningful engagement with our communities.
For Watershed development promotion to work well, it must be carried out by and with people, not on or to people.
This means that at all stages of the Watershed development intervention, communities are involved with and retain ownership of any Watershed development action.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
