Connecting Communities: Strengthening Global Democracy through Local Assemblies

Join us on May 20th for an interactive webinar exploring how community assemblies can strengthen local democracy and amplify voices across the UK—and beyond.

Hosted by Community Organisers, this event will showcase their vision for connecting grassroots movements and supporting communities to engage in meaningful deliberation.

We’ll introduce a new online platform developed by Iswe Foundation to help community groups run assemblies on the issues that matter most to them. Learn how this tool is being designed to amplify unheard voices, bridge local action with national and global conversations, and foster a more connected and empowered civil society.

What to Expect:

  • Panel discussion – Hear from grassroots organisers from the Humanity Project, Assemble, and Community Organisers’ Social Action Hubs as they share insights from their research and pilot experiences, and discuss what features they need most.
  • Live demonstration – See how Iswe’s platform supports assemblies before, during, and after deliberation.
  • Interactive breakout discussions – Explore challenges, opportunities, and what support community organisers need.

Whether you’re an experienced assembly organizer or new to the concept, this webinar is an opportunity to connect with changemakers, gain real-world insights, and shape the future of citizen-led decision-making.
