Initiative for Public Deliberation

Initiative for Public Deliberation Initiative for Public Deliberation promotes civility in communities through revitalizing dialogue us

The Washington State University Vancouver -- Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service’s Initiative for Public Deliberation (IPD) was established in Spring, 2015. Its goal is "to strengthen democratic government by replacing rigid partisanship with listening and conversation." It serves as an impartial resource for the Southwest Washington community to assist in community problem-solving. We analyze issues, design public participation events, host forums that students facilitate, and write reports on key issues while working with a wide variety of local institutions, including local and state government, school districts and community organizations. Deliberation requires safe places for citizens to come together, good and fair information to help structure the conversation, and skilled facilitators to guide the process, and IPD is dedicated to providing these three key ingredients to Southwest Washington.
