Description

The Digital Democracy Lab Handbook
This handbook is a practical guide for public servants, facilitators, and civic technologists exploring how AI can be meaningfully integrated into democratic exchange processes. Developed as part of the EU-funded KT4D project (Knowledge Technologies for Democracy), it offers reflections, tools, and tested “recipes” for designing, facilitating, and evaluating AI-supported participatory and deliberative practices. Drawing on real-world experiments across Europe, the handbook balances critical insight with actionable guidance to ensure that democratic values remain central—even in digitally mediated contexts.
