Danish participatory models

Consensus conferences and scenario workshops have been developed in Denmark within a democratic perspective that assumes it is both
possible and necessary to establish a dialogue with citizens about technology politics. In consensus conferences, the citizens have the role of a citizen panel, which will set the agenda for the conference. In scenario workshops, a group of citizens interacts with other actors to exchange knowledge and experience, develop common visions and produce a plan of action. The focus of both methods is to create a framework for dialogue among policy-makers, experts and ordinary
citizens. Both methods are also characterised by their ability to create new knowledge.
