November Thinking Box - exploring Sortition and listening to shame

In this session, Brett from the Sortition Foundation explains Sortition, which is a key aspect of Citizen’s Assemblies. We discuss its merits and drawbacks and possible pathways to its introduction.

In the second half we watch a powerful and humorous talk about shame. How does shame affect us and is empathy an antidote?
