No two jury sessions are the same! The Bude Area Community Jury sessions were facilitated by Shared Future CIC, who have run more than 30 Citizens’ Juries and Assemblies across the UK.
Key to the process is trust, and to create a space where participants feel safe to exchange views and concerns, and where their opinions would be valued.
As well as listening to more than 20 commentators across the three weekends, discussing what they’d heard and raising questions in small groups, jury members also took part in a wide range of other activities: ice-breaking bingo, creative exercises, speed-dating conversations, power mapping and home groups where jury members would return to throughout the process to check in with each other and their assigned facilitator.
