Today’s citizens want to have a direct, tangible impact on policy decisions that are theme-focused. But what are the features of a successful transparent process? The Citzens’ Forum answers this question. It combines the efforts of motivated individuals at various events with citizens’ ideas gathered through an online platform. Participants’ recommendations are then used to draft a Citizens’ Agenda. The Citizens’Forum, developed and tested over several years, is a joint initiative of the Bertelsmann Stiftung and the Heinz Nixdorf Foundation. For more information on the Citizens’ Forum: www.buerger-forum.info/ The Bertelsmann Stiftung has provided the following open-source software designed for supporting you in organizing the online part of the Citizens’Forum.
