Designed within the ORBIS project, the Cards of Clarity in Dialogue are meant to be used as a non-prescriptive aid tool to improve inclusive participation in discussions, anticipate or respond to emerging tension and to support respectful, productive argumentation. Thus, they have been conceived as a tool for conflict prevention. The cards uploaded here are conceived to be used in a digital or printable version for facilitating multiparty discussions, especially (but not exclusively) in the context of deliberative democracy discussions. The Conflict Prevention Cards include the full deck for moderators. The file called CardsForUserView present a simplified version for participants in discussions. Additionally, thanks to the work by Open University (UK), The “Cards of Clarity” mechanism is now fully integrated into the BCause platform to facilitate dialogic conflict handling. The platform includes a dedicated administration page for discussion management where moderators can view all automatically detected "flags" or points of potential conflict. These detected conflicts - such as participant silence, lack of common ground, or the presence of accusations - are accompanied by a candidate set of recommended actions based on dispute mediation research (see references below).
