Abstract

This poster describes the design and facilitation of a Deliberation Day (D-Day) implemented in an educational setting. The purpose of the D-Day event was to provide an enabling context for new students to explore their capacity to discuss a key informational issue in a public setting, and to experience the benefits and pitfalls of small group work. The informational issue being discussed was the European Court of Justice May 2014 Ruling on the Right To Be Forgotten. The preparation and design of the Deliberation Day is presented. Some preliminary findings from the Day are reported relating to three Polls taken before, during, and after students’ public deliberations on the Right. Analysis of the poll data identifies a clear shift in opinion throughout the Day, from majority agreement in favor of the Right before discussion to a more diverse and circumspect range of opinions after deliberation.
