Scotland Local Democracy Lab workshop
/Do you want to discuss the condition of democracy in Scotland through the lens of present challenges?
Local Democracy Lab is an online public deliberation event which gathers people across Scotland to discuss their trust in democracy in the time of Covid-19 pandemic. It is organised as a part of the Populism and Civic Engagement (PaCE) project, an EU-funded research and innovation programme, aiming to understand and address the negative tendencies associated with populism politics.
By engaging with people across Europe, we invite you to share your opinion about the condition of democracy and your trust in decisions made by public authorities. This knowledge will feed in the PaCE research findings and the outcomes will be widely disseminated among policymakers and researchers.
The event will be held online via Zoom platform and takes three hours. Your discussion will be moderated by facilitators and will happen in small groups to encourage meaningful and constructive interaction. Democracy Lab is preceded by idea generation and exchange through Your Priorities platform.
The Democracy Lab Scotland takes place on Friday 30 April 2021 from 14.00 to 17.00 GMT.
We encourage everyone to participate, including minorities, people with a migration background, of different educational and professional backgrounds and we strive to ensure gender balance. You are welcome to join if you:
are at least 16 years old
live in Scotland
enjoy sharing ideas and discussing them with others
