Join the IGDA Climate SIG

Citizens Assembly Jam Interest Form
The Citizens Assembly Game Jam aims to create mass awareness of and advocacy for Citizens’ Assemblies.
A Citizens' Assembly is a group of people selected by lottery from the general population to deliberate on important public questions so as to exert an influence.
As part of the One World or None campaign, this Jam will be looking to identify examples of gameplay that are essential facets for citizens' assemblies, such as healthy discourse, democracy, debate, and radical collaboration. The desired build will be a free-to-play mobile game.
