Description: |
The Public Forum Institute is an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit organization committed to developing the most advanced and effective means of fostering public discourse. The Forum tailors projects that advance the exchange of ideas and understanding of policy by combining issue expertise with effective facilitation techniques and advanced public participation methods. His role involves planning, organizing, and facilitating impartial and interactive public policy forums. His work focuses on applying a wide array of approaches in the deliberative democracy field through communication processes and products, including the use of group facilitation techniques and technology in collaborative learning and voting, respectively. My aim is to create unique face-to-face forums that naturally foster greater representation in examples of ever-evolving informed consensus by capitalizing on the insights of citizens. Currently, Mr. Moll is developing processes for forums that provide neutral civic engagement spaces for citizens to discuss, evaluate equitable policy visions. Much of his professional work has explored and tested the use of multiple public participatory formats, including some from the International Association of Public Participation, Search for Common Ground and the National Issues Forums. |
