“So grateful that a group of culturally diverse people could respectfully and peacefully discuss and deliberate on issues that matter to them with open hearts and minds.”

“This has been one of the most amazing experiences of my adult life. I genuinely feel honoured and privileged to be involved and I’d even say my faith in democracy has been restored.”

“It’s been an eye-opening experience watching a group of people from all walks of life, who don’t know each other, come together and create this really cool piece of work. I’ve really enjoyed being a part of that.”

“To be involved with this process and have my faith in democracy reinstated has been revolutionary.”

“What an amazing opportunity to try and have an impact for the people and the land on which we live. ”

“MosaicLab’s process is great. You get a chance to talk, you get a chance to be heard, you feel welcome, you feel involved.”

“It’s been great how you’ve facilitated across both online and offline environments.

I’ve really enjoyed the different lenses that people have brought into this process and their different experiences.”

“To be involved with this process and have my faith in democracy reinstated has been revolutionary.

The democratic process is normally very polarising but I feel that this has brought us all together and I’m feeling very positive and hopeful for the future. ”

“The collective outcome was because of MosaicLab – the staff were extraordinary.

They were nurturing, they were supportive and it flowed. It was such an emotional and personal experience, but to have those gentle boundaries and the personalities within MosaicLab – I was very grateful. ”

“Many recommendations were the result of robust debate and a democratic vote, deciding what we would include in our report.

I thoroughly enjoyed the process, believed it resulted in good recommendations and hope that this process is adopted by other organisations.”

“Today you both were brilliant. I loved the way you paced us, coaxed, deterred and encouraged us. Totally, exquisitely professional and utterly outcome-focussed.

You timed us down to the last minute. It’s what musical theatre stage-management does best – getting the scene- change/ lighting/ fly cue ‘on the button’.”

“If (we) didn’t have MosaicLab here we’d still be debating question one on the last day. The skills you guys have shown has really showcased the ability to have a functioning democracy.

Having any amount of people in a room, you’ll have differences of opinions. But being able to go through this process and actually deliver something real, it’s fantastic. ”

“I found it exhilarating, challenging, there was a lot of collaboration, but very little competition.

Everybody was interested in the outcome.”

“The process ensured we all had a chance to build the plan the way we wanted it. Everybody had the opportunity to feed in.

We know there will still be people not happy but we achieved an enormous amount.”

“It’s been an eye-opening experience watching a group of people from all walks of life, who don’t know each other, come together and create this really cool piece of work. ”
