Overview of forms of public participation in the context of the Law of Ukraine “On People’s Power”

One of the presentations at the third session of the Deliberative Democracy Lab will focus on reviewing forms of public participation in the context of the Law of Ukraine “On People’s Power”.

This session will be led by Maksym Latsyba, Head of the Civil Society Development Programme at the Ukrainian Center for Independent Political Research (UCIPR). As one of the co-authors of the law, he will, together with participants, examine its provisions and the forms of public participation it provides.

This overview will inform a broader discussion on applying key principles of deliberative democracy — sortition and informed deliberation in small groups — within the wider context of public participation in Ukraine.
