The Network

Delib is an Iberian Network of organizations and individuals that encourage and promote deliberative democracy.

Launched in 2023, this is a community of practice dedicated to embedding deliberative tools into the political system. To this end, it gives visibility to Citizens' Assemblies, and accompanies the organizations and individuals who promote, design and implement them.

What we do
