As part of the Populism and Civic Engagement (PaCE) project, we held a ‘Democracy Lab’ in Messina, Italy, in September 2019 (you can read more about it here). It was the first such event and served as a rehearsal for how other organisations can engage with citizens as part of their work. The Democracy Labs are a component of PaCE’s engagement plan, which aims to make sure that democratic input and engagement occurs through all parts of the project. You can watch the testimonials from participants of the Messina Democracy Lab here:
