Every individual should then feel targeted as the perfect fit who can contribute to make a positive impact in their own unique way; not only to be part of something, but to develop such something as a part of the person. In fact, when an individual is engaged on a behavioral, cognitive or emotional level, it is more inclined to take up a cause personally. Feeling part of a community, building meaningful interactions and satisfying a never ending thirst of knowledge, helps in feeling as a gear of the wheel: vital, no matter how small. In transmitting this view, the hierarchical model crumbles down, in favor of a circular one; where everyone's voice gets the same level of validation. As a consequence, there are higher chances for individuals to feel more accountable towards their rights and duties, as well as for the group, to get more cohesive and cooperative.

- Gamification in democracy.

- Opt-out option instead of opt-in (every citizen should attend a democratic event on rotation in time, whose discussion's topics are equal, but adjusted to the age of its participants. Plus, free to drop out anytime).

- De-centralized power, by empowering (through facilities, money, resources etc.) medium and small communities -> self governing city-states.

- Confrontation of different neighborhoods on what their needs and priorities are, to make clear to the whole community how a big impact is build on the base of small changes.

- Protection of future generations -> ensuring intergenerational rights.

- To prevent from degradation as well as to enhance historical heritage and safe urban spaces -> city mapping.

- Equal and fair access to education and technology resources for involvement (in participation), individual growth and overall experiential background.

This participation manifests itself as actions. Engagement is closely related to groups defined by social connections shared by individuals. These connections enable discussion and interaction. Engagement can be sparked by a power struggle that takes place in a system of unequal intergroup power relations (which society and its subcultures in many ways represent).

Incentive rewards (gifts, monetary rewards, service award presents,) can increase engagement, but only to a degree. Our goal should be to increase the people's innate motivation to engage in democratic processes. Therefore, we should try to utilize rewards/rewarding systems that produce experiences of relevance and inclusion while also making the process fun for the participants.

When power is too centralised people feel remote and cut-off from the democratic decision making process, fore example in the UK were power is very centralised in Westminster, London.

Examples of good devolution include the Scottish Government at Holyrood and Transport for London which runs a highly efficient not for profit transport network in one of the world's biggest cities.

How can we used principles of devolution to inform our constitution and empower local people to be involved in a democratic organisations.

As a result of this exploratory process the participants would formulate the actual constitution.
 
This instrument could then be implemented on local level organizations and institutions to engage a vide demographic of people to learn more about democratic process and about themselves! 
 
Important: apply the instrument in a context where you want to create a sense of consensus! Engage and empower individuals to build and interact together! 
 
Involvement of local stakeholders crucial for implementing the instrument: they have more knowledge about the community and of the setting = they are in a better position to engage with individuals on a local level
 
Can be utilized in multiple settings = this could be our goal = means that it needs to be simple, but not boring/unengaging
 
Utilizing the instrument builds trust and teamwork skills!
 
Means and tools to be used in the implementation face of the instrument: Self-reflection using sketch pads, dialogue and debate when formulating the final constitution? 

Other methods? Like pantomime and acting in groups?

With a population of nearly 500,000, Raleigh is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States18. In 2017, the municipality released a web-based 3D visualisation tool named InVision Raleigh. This tool allows urban designers and planners to develop and envision a variety of development scenarios within the urban environment. Users of InVision Raleigh can add potential buildings by defining location, height, width and orientation, and observe the resulting changes to the physical characteristics of city streets, shadow patterns and density. By using simple navigation tools, users can see how development (or other changes) in the use of land would impact the city. InVision Raleigh, currently in beta, has a stated goal: to lower the bar of citizen participation. To this end, the team of developers is currently at work to engage users with enhanced storytelling features about what the future urban environment could be designed to be.

Active Citizen app promoted by the Municipality of Moscow to vote on non-political city decisions, such as naming a new subway station, expanding bike lanes, supporting a band to play in a park, or setting the speed limits in urban areas. Under the motto “The city entrusts you to decide” the platform awards points for every vote casted by its users. Points can be redeemed with prizes available on an online store. The mechanism is simple: the more votes, the higher number of points (with city- wide votes afforded more points than district-level ones), and therefore the better prizes, including tickets for a ballet performance, a bestseller book, branded merchandise, or a breakfast with Moscow’s mayor. According to data released by the municipality of Moscow, thus far Active Citizen has worked successfully. Since its launch it has hosted nearly 2,800 polls, gathering 1,9 million users – with the most popular polls attracting an average of 500,000 citizens. At the end of 2017 the municipality of Moscow announced a pilot project to migrate the Active Citizen‘s voting system to the blockchain. With the new system citizens’ answers will be threated as a transaction, stored and sent to the network. Users’ anonymity protected through an unique ID assigned to each user.

Regarding rewards
The sense of playfulness occurs under three conditions: the perception of a non-trivial goal that can be reasonably pursued; the desire to pursue that goal under behavioural rules that differ from the behavioural rules that one would normally apply; the voluntariness of the decision to pursue that goal. Others claim a gameful system must contain at least some of the 9 key features of games: 1.player, 2.environment, 3.rule, 4.challenge, 5.interaction, 6.goal, 7.emotional experience, 6.quantifiable outcome, 7.negotiable consequence.]]> 2021-10-29 11:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/masoumehshahverdi/az36hl5s6junjxrm/wish/1853745885 Value Proposition: masoumehshahverdi https://padlet.com/masoumehshahverdi/az36hl5s6junjxrm/wish/1853941185 2021-10-29 13:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/masoumehshahverdi/az36hl5s6junjxrm/wish/1853941185 Ten principles for making democratic process more engaging and rewarding https://padlet.com/masoumehshahverdi/az36hl5s6junjxrm/wish/1854025347 Take others into consideration: validate individuals voice and cultural backgrounds without favoritism
 
Debate and communication are the foundation of successful interaction: both parties respect each other and strive towards the common good, not towards beating each other
 
My values and views matter, but alone I am vulnerable and at the mercy of others
 
Take into consideration the structures: they provide the basis for democratic processes, but they can also cripple it
 
Make the processes as transparent as possible across the board
 
Make engagement creative and playful: turn the process into play or a game
 
Promote the principles of diversity and inclusivity in the design of physical spaces, buildings, or events
 
Use several different forms and methods of participation: sketch pads, dialogue, pantomime etc. 
 
Approach the process from a constructive and positive perspective: difficult and emotional factors are targets for development and challenges, not negative forces of dominion
 
Ensure that the constitution that emerges at the end of the process is made visible to all those involved in the process]]> 2021-10-29 14:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/masoumehshahverdi/az36hl5s6junjxrm/wish/1854025347
