YOUR EXPECTATIONS
”To get a global view on the cutting edge of democracy”
”Understanding how to scale participatory processes more ambitiously”
”To meet other people working on these same issues”
”To join international movement”
”I want to understand that can methods of participatory democracy reduce the appeal of illiberal, authoritarian leaders?
WHAT’S THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO DEMOCRACY IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS?
”the best thing we can hope for is that we still have one!
”It could exist”
A lot more people will be engaging in political and civic life and taking part in participatory processes in their communities.
”aggregate feedback loops from citizen level to parliament”
”experimental policy development”
”The invention, trial, and positive results of a new system of collective decision making.”
Politicians will be listening more to citizens and offering more opportunities for people to share their views through deliberative democracy.

NextEra is…
-A global initiative to track, connect, and amplify emerging ideas for an open and forward-looking society.
What we have found so far
1. As everyone is speaking about the transformation, we need to create a vision for what next.
2. There is a need to identify, conceptualise and scale social innovations and experiments fast (as the technology and business innovations are changing the world).
3. Vision is a narrative for that links initiatives.
