The Kettering Foundation (KF) and the National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI) are convening online Common Ground for Action(CGA) forums in September and October — these are great opportunities to share with people you’d like to experience a deliberative forum: teachers who might want to use deliberation in the classroom, partners on an issue who are new to forums.  Please share this post widely with your networks and on social media.
