What is Inclusive Participation?
Making room in a process for the people it usually leaves out.
What you learn
Change how you meet so people usually left out can take part.
When it helps
the same voices dominate, or people affected by a decision aren’t being heard.
Use it at work
- List who’s affected but rarely takes part.
- Ask what stops them: time, place, language, cost or format.
- Change the process to remove those barriers.
- Show them how their input changed the decision.
Your output
For your next session, list who’s affected but rarely takes part. Change one thing about the time, place, language or format so they can.
Watch for
Inviting everyone, then running sessions only some people can attend.
