ICDD supports development and evaluation of educational programs to enlarge the practice of deliberative democracy, from K-12 to university, and non-curricular education for citizens. ICDD introduced two new courses to the K-State curriculum, Dialogue on Democracy and Communication and Democracy, and inserted education in models of public deliberation into others. We have evaluated youth civic education developed by Heartland Foundation’s EmpowerU, and have contributed trained discussion facilitators to community educational offerings, such as film forums.
The Journal of Public Deliberation was created as a scholarly forum for deliberative democracy. The journal publishes information on research, opinions, projects, experiments, and experience of practitioners and academics.
