Example of recruiting process: Milestones leading up to a successful dialogue

A detailed operational timeline and checklist for recruiting citizens via random selection using a service provider.

This document provides a concrete example of a recruitment timeline, based on a "Europawerkstatt" Citizens' Dialogue in Berlin. It breaks down the process into four major phases: coordination of key selection points (weeks 8–6), commissioning a service provider (weeks 6–4), the active 4-week recruitment phase, and the final logistical week leading up to the event. It specifically details diversity criteria, such as equal gender distribution, specific age clusters, and socio-economic balance.
