National Issues Forums

National Issues Forums (NIF) are public discussions aimed at addressing important societal issues by engaging citizens in open dialogue. These forums provide a platform for people to explore different perspectives, share their views, and consider solutions collaboratively. Participants discuss various approaches to complex topics, such as healthcare or climate change, using structured materials that present diverse viewpoints. The goal is to foster informed citizen engagement, promote understanding, and encourage civic participation in the decision-making processes that affect communities and the nation as a whole.
