Democratic Innovation Proposals

What if we could change the way our societies work?

What if democracy wasn’t a matter of elections and referendums every few years, but rather something that pervaded our everyday lives?

What if technology could build communities?

Questions much like these were at the forefront of our Democracy Labs, events wherethe public joined us to explore theoretical and practical solutions to the challenges that our democracy is facing in the modern age. They discussed, debated, even argued at times. Plans were drafted, ideas put forward, some discarded, until eventually there emerged the outline of a plan.

We have taken these plans, these visions and innovations, and distilled them down to their essence. 6 models for democratic innovations. 6 blueprints for a different society. As you read through them, we invite you to consider – how would you improve these innovations, and how do you think they would impact your communities, your countries, your democracies?
