Participedia

Participedia

Under the direction of Professor Mark Warren, Participedia aims to develop a large, crowd-sourced database that will support evidence-based answers to the question: What kinds of participatory processes work best, for what purposes, and under what conditions? Participedia provides free and open source resources to those involved in participatory political processes, while also deepening our knowledge of democratic innovations.
