"A Deliberative Poll on Education Policy in Northern Ireland","nibleys","Before making the education policy adjustments which had become essential due to low pupil turnout, the Department of Education in Northern Ireland sought to pay attention to the views of the parents. The goal was to create the required new rules within an atmosphere of cooperation. To attain this cooperation, a deliberative poll was held in Omagh, Northern Ireland in January 2007. 565 randomly selected parents were polled and then invited to Omagh College for a day of deliberation. 127 participants were given briefing materials on education policy. Parents engaged in small group discussions which were controlled by moderators, while at the same time a panel of experts answered their questions.

"Mitreden-U – Umweltdialog zur deutschen Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie...","Christina Rucker","Mitreden-U provided Germany’s citizens with the possibility to influence the update of the official German sustainability policy through an online dialogue. Citizens could present ideas and suggestions about where more efforts are needed and what the politics should focus on in the next years in the field of environmental questions. Suggestions could be commented and rated on. All input has been analyzed and will be considered for the draft of the strategy paper. In addition, issues that have been much discussed in the online dialogue have been deepened in three offline focus discussions with participants of the online dialogue. Special efforts have been made to mobilize groups that are constantly underrepresented in participation projects: youth and migrants.","The original version of this case study first appeared on Vitalizing Democracy in 2010 and was a contestant for the 2011 Reinhard Mohn Prize.
