Global Assembly Selection and Recruitment Workshop

Workshop examining recruitment methodologies for Global Citizens’ Assemblies, exploring tensions between sortition and inclusive representation, and proposing adaptive approaches like purposive boosts and iterative review. The workshop identified concerns that random selection may exclude marginalized groups and proposed a four-step adaptive methodology combining random selection with inclusive design, purposive outreach, tailored processes, and iterative evaluation. Key insight: different goals imply different recruitment strategies, so approaches should be context-specific and co-designed with community partners.
