University of Colorado Center for Public Deliberation (CPD) is dedicated to enhancing local democracy through improved public communication and community problem-solving. Their aim is to improve the way our community can talk through complex issues so that we can arrive at better decisions.
Deliberation requires open spaces for citizens to come together, good and fair information to help structure the conversation, and skilled facilitators to guide the process. The CPD provides these three key ingredients to Northern Colorado. Learn more at: https://cpd.colostate.edu/about-us/ or watch a video at: https://vimeo.com/298265934
