Can digital tools help strengthen the democracy? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Irish author Roslyn Fuller and Norwegian experts and practitioners.

Norway is one of the countries in the world where citizens are most satisfied with democracy and have the highest trust in public authorities. Nevertheless, we see growing dissatisfaction with politicians and political parties, and a desire for more direct participation in politics.

Several cities and countries around the world have adopted digital platforms, apps and social media to engage citizens between elections. In Norway, several municipalities have also experimented with such tools.
