?? How do we leverage the learnings and impacts from Citizens’ Assemblies? ? With hundreds of deliberative processes taking place globally in the past decade, the expansion of Citizens Assemblies (CAs) is undeniable. Yet, evaluation practices have varied widely, hindering the comparability and consistency of learning across cases. We want to ensure that our understanding of the North American deliberative wave is enhanced with every Citizens' Assembly that is designed and implemented.? ? This is the objective of our new Citizens' Assemblies?Learning Series! Based on a multi-methods approach, our independent Case Studies?foster a more comprehensive understanding of how deliberative processes perform across different settings and topics. The evaluation methods include pre- and post-assembly surveys to measure participant views on information quality, process integrity, and belief changes, alongside researcher observations of full sessions to document neutral impressions. Additionally, in-depth interviews allow participants to share detailed personal insights beyond survey responses, creating a comprehensive understanding of the assembly experience and its impact. ?? This framework offers a comparative, evidence-based methodology to analyze the design, impact, and effectiveness of Citizens’ Assemblies. We thank our partners at the Institute for Democratic Engagement and Accountability at The Ohio State University and the Berggruen Institute for their support. ??
