ParticiPo uses both digital and in-person tools at different stages.

Here are the 4 simple steps of the process:

The Process

A survey across the student community aims to determine what the most pressing issues in the student life of Sciences Po are.

1. BRAINSTORMING THE TOPIC

2. PREPARING THE QUESTION

A workshop composed of voluntary students chooses how to frame the topic of the deliberative process taking into account the inputs found in the survey.

All students can propose ideas to address the issue chosen by the assembly and react to other ideas.
The ideas are put on Pol.is, an online conversation platform that automatically groups similar proposals.

3. SHAPING THE PROPOSALS

4. GLUING THE SOLUTIONS

A final assembly transforms the students proposals that gathered most consensus into actionable policies, that are presented to the administration.
