Point from Danielle Beswick - People are effective at being experts on things if they need to be. Covid proved that. People can upskill and educated themselves very quickly. People don’t engage unless they have to. We don’t have the bandwidth to feel passionate about everything all the time. But need to have channels when they do.
Having a permanent display in public spaces where people are informed of the topical debates affecting their community and are able to communicate their views through a simple survey. These could be in schools, libraries, art galleries, community centres, shopping centres, parks. It would function like an electronic advertising display with QR codes and touch screen interface. This would allow for the education of the public (QR for more info) and voice their opinions at their own leisure.
