David Matthews Center for Civic Life

Coaching community innovation workshops (cci) and the Civic institue workshops ultimately aim to place the tools fordeliberation directly into the hands of alabamians. The David mathews center for Civic Life offers these workshops to individuals and organizations statewide to equip them with the tools they need to develop the deliberative model in their own communities. Cci workshops are designed to improve community capacities to make innovative decisions, secure commitments to act together, and learn from experiences. Coaching community innovation workshops (cci) in 2022 included working with auburn public outreach on the "securing identification for individuals who are incarcerated project", working on the Civic institute, planning for the applied democracy exchanges, and working with the alabama league of municipalities.
