Deliberative Social Media

Anna McKeon, Traverse <Anna.Mckeon@Traverse.Ltd>

EngagementHQ is a software platform designed for public engagement and debate, which was used alongside Zoom for recent research during the #LockdownDebate project. But in recent times, governments are having to move faster and faster, while the large audiences on social media struggle to engage in relevant ways. Your goal is to create a media platform that is as engaging as TikTok, but also allows thoughtful deliberation when different generations and communities have to share their perspectives and make compromises on difficult questions, even while government policy might be changing on a daily basis.
