In this conversation, the research team will share a project that they worked on with the City of Boston's Participatory Budgeting Office. The project involved systemic approaches and frameworks to co-create a deliberative community conversation toolkit for use by community partner organizations within the city of Boston to host idea generation workshops to prioritize needs from community members. This aimed to empower community members to distill priorities relevant to their neighborhoods so that the City could translate into project proposals to better serve its communities.
