As democracy is backsliding and losing support around the world, what should we do?
To build support for democracy, we need to improve how democracy works and how we talk about democracy - also here in Norway. What are the learnings and insights from participatory democratic experiments around the world? How do we go from pilots to institutionalization? What are the most useful narratives taking shape around democracy?
Join Josh Lerner and Greta Ríos, Co-Executive Directors of People Powered, for a deep dive into global efforts to transform democracy and the stories that we tell about it.
People Powered is a global hub for participatory democracy, dedicated to expanding people’s power to make government decisions. It brings together 300 leading organizations and practitioners to build shared resources, programs, and community for participatory democracy.
While building a more participatory democracy, People Powered is also coordinating a new global Democracy Narratives Campaign, to shift how we communicate. Dominant narratives frame democracy narrowly around elections, and this is undermining public support.
The campaign brings together more than 30 international organizations, research institutions, and funders to compile, develop, and apply compelling narratives that increase support for and engagement in democracy.
Join us to learn about these global efforts to rewrite the story of democracy, and learn how you can get involved. Also joining the conversation:
