A Community Assembly is a structured community meeting, facilitating participation and inclusion to address a specific question and arrive at a collective decision.

Community Assemblies are a structured way for a group of people to discuss issues or make decisions collectively, so that all voices are heard and valued equally, and no one person or group dominates the discussion.

[community] assemblies are democratic exercises that allow people to share thoughts and feelings, discuss problems and generate solutions in a highly structured way. The structure facilitates participation and inclusion, and gives people a voice – everyone is listened to and everybody listens. People’s assemblies thus work to build trust, community and connection, whilst facilitating participatory and deliberative democracy. Trust The People Community Assembly Manual


 * Participants are invited without pre-selection. Everyone is welcome.
 * Participants assemble to learn about then share thoughts around one simple question, for example: “how can we campaign for Climate action within the workplace?”
 * Thoughts and ideas become actions and campaigns to be taken forward by participants before they leave the assembly.



Three pillars

 * 1) Radical inclusivity
 * 2) Active listening
 * 3) Trust
