In tandem, the ‘Democracy Accelerator Program’ targets governmental authorities and organisations, offering a comprehensive training curriculum. This program equips participants with skills in deliberation, open governance, digitalization, participatory policymaking, and direct democracy. Additionally, participants become familiar with our Participation Playbook. Through online training, peer learning sessions, and personalised mentorship, participants gain practical insights and tools. By utilising these techniques, participants become more receptive to adopting participatory programs and solutions, thereby advancing democratic practices and innovation. The Accelerator Program will also function as a pathway for new members to the Collaborative.
