Civic Language

Plain explanations of the terms used in public debate and policy.

Our approach

Public life is easier to follow when the terms are clear

We break down civic ideas into distinct steps, roles, and choices. The aim is understanding, not telling readers what to think.

  1. What a Public Service Is Designed to Do
  2. Committee, Department, or Agency: Three Different Roles
  3. How Public Meetings Work Without a Formal Agenda
