This document appears to be notes from a presentation discussing how information and communication technologies are dissolving traditional social structures and relationships. It explores the concept of "demes" as semi-formal civic spaces between fully formal and informal interactions. Examples are given of online platforms like NHS Citizen that aim to create public spaces for participation. Unanswered questions are raised about the role of policymakers in building these participatory spaces and ensuring they remain truly public rather than controlled by commercial interests. Recommendations include supporting independent organizations to facilitate civic dialogues and ensuring any recommendations promote democratic participation principles.
Catherine at LGComms Academy – Beyond communications: engagement through to d...NHSCitizen
Catherine's session at LGComms Academy 2014 was entitled: Beyond communications engagement through to democracy, where she tackled some really interesting, challenging territory for public-sector communicators.
In particular, Catherine pointed out why a networked, digital society demands not better communications but better democracy – and argued why this is an essential battleground for public-sector communicators in the future.
What is Our Way Ahead?
An OPEN event to build voice, agency and grassroots infrastructure at a
time of crisis and division.

“Dialogue” is the cornerstone of this management tool in obtaining public acceptability in Quebec. As defined by Stéphane Perrault, principal Vice President of PILOTE groupe-conseil, “The evolution in communications, what with an omni presence of social media in people’s lives, has compelled companies to adopt a multi-directional approach where, forever now, they have all become vectors of communication.” To which he added, “The True Dialogue tool opens up a neutral conversation more true in fact as to the stakes attached to a project, with convincing results”.
True Dialogue has been successfully tested by several businesses such as Produits forestiers Résolu and Talisman Energy. It is currently being used for certain confidential, large-scale projects in Quebec.

Knowledge Weaving for Social Innovation: Laying the First StrandCommunitySense
Society consists of a web of interconnected communities. A large body of research and practice exists on how to make communities work. Still, the intersection and interaction of multiple communities - the development and use of their inter-communal commons - is ill-understood. Social innovation is the process in which relevant stakeholders jointly develop solutions to wicked problems that none of them can solve on their own. As such, it is a prime example of the need for multiple stakeholder communities collaborating. We propose a process for building a networked community-commons called knowledge weaving. This is a reflective sensemaking effort in which existing communal knowledge sharing practices, initiatives, and resources are tied together into coherent commons-based knowledge fabrics that support intercommunal collaboration, such as for social innovation. We illustrate the approach with the case of the European Social Innovation Week 2015 pre-events.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Holding the space between
• Heard about APOPPs yesterday
• We can usefully think about them as
structures for creating the space in which
high-quality engagement happens
• That has to be in context of changing
government attitudes and bringing together
different strands of conversation
15. @demsoc | demsoc.org
Unanswered questions
• What is the role of the policymaker in working with (and
building) that space between?
• Can we create a truly public space between when so
many of the routes into it are controlled by commercial
organisations with an interest in hoarding information
• What capacity and infrastructure do government need,
what do citizens need?

1.5 recommendations
• 1: To support the delivery of the SDGs and wider participation
in civil society, member states should support the creation of
independent public participation support organisations, who
can use online and offline routes to bring together public voice
and run informed and open civic dialogues on important
isssues.
• 1.5: Write all the recommendations on the basis that they
should be good principles for democratic participation rather
than requiring the SDGs to come out one way or another
