About Participation Now

Participation Now is a new Open University/OpenLearn web platform built for those interested in exploring and critically reflecting on emerging developments in the field of public participation and public engagement.

Participation Now offers access to:

– A unique, searchable and expanding collection of over 100 very diverse examples of participatory public engagement sourced from social movements, NGOs, art, government, science and many other domains
