Description:
Confronting the citizenry with the possibility of participating in the decision-making process. The effect is to spur the people to risk involvement in community affairs where before they could see no reason for doing so. Context:
An integral part of formulating collective opinion by enabling the individual to use the comprehensive data and consensus methodology which will involve him in decision-making processes. Implementation:
Tactics include: curriculum construction to set a new context for people's involvement; workshop building to gather the existing local wisdom; spirit creation to develop corporateness to enable community identity; consensus demonstration to make visible the gift of this decision-making process in enabling every one's participation; and symbolized involvement to hold before the community the decision that has been made to participate in consensus-making processes. An example is local Appalachian women organizing into a Democratic Women's Club, begin to see themselves as a group with methods of deciding their own plans, and they eventually become women who elected governors instead of inarticulate coal miners' wives.
