About the Centre for Deliberation
The Centre for Deliberation (CD) is an interdisciplinary scientific and research unit, where urgent practical problems regarding democratic communication and communication in democracy are addressed.
CD objectives include:
- theoretical reflection and critical analysis of systemic solutions that constitute a framework for public debate, as well as the very course of communication in the institutions of power and between the authorities and citizens;
- research in the field of innovation in democracy, including systemic solutions, communication mechanisms and tools, as well as their use in institutional practice;
- interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral and international cooperation, exchange of knowledge and experience in the previously mentioned areas.
The impulse for the creation of the Centre for Deliberation was provided by the experimental implementation of a Deliberative Poll in Poznań.
