# Events to improve your knowledge of Citizens' Assemblies

### Discuss our central demand at your group meeting

If you are part of a local or community group (XR or not!) why not devote a meeting to the UK-wide Citizens’ Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice?

**Activities to engage and educate a group around Citizens' Assemblies:** <br>

- Watch this 4 minute video: [America in one room - how a weekend of discussing politics shifted the views of these Americans](https://pmd.cdn.turner.com/cnn/big/politics/2019/09/23/america-in-one-room-political-discussions-lah-newday-dnt-vpx.cnn_2812007_768x432_1300k.mp4#t=0.1.) - a great explanation of how participants can work together.

- Why not plan an <a href=https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1562#  target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">outreach event</a>  or a <a href=https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1547# target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">citizens' assembly action</a> to raise public awareness?

### Organise a talk by a CA expert

#### Invite an expert to talk at your meeting.
We have people with expert knowledge of citizens' assemblies and our central demand who can be booked to give a talk.

Ideally we need more than 20 participants - so join with other nearby groups (XR or not!) If possible we'll come in person, but we're always happy to present and answer questions over Zoom.

Contact us at <xr-CitizensAssembly@protonmail.com>. Tell us the dates, times, location (if in person). It's a half hour presentation with time for follow up questions.
