How to Bring Citizen Deliberation to Schools

A condensed guide offering eleven steps to design and run a deliberative assembly in a high-school context, focused on youth participation through sortition (lottery-selection).

The guide outlines how to move from dialogue to deliberation (distinguishing between exploration versus decision-making) and emphasises practical mechanics of inclusion: how to run a fair lottery, how to prepare student participants, how to engage with adult oversight without tokenism, and how to structure the process so young people truly influence decisions.
