In the framework of the World Forum for Democracy 2015 (Strasbourg, 18-20 November), a Democracy Innovation Hackathon (participatory democracy workshop) will take place, with the aim of designing a Participatory Democracy Incubator. Two of the ELDW “12 Star” cities, Falun (SE) and Katowice (PL) were also selected to participate in the hackathon and brainstorm together on developing the framework of the network, and concrete solutions for improving citizen’s political involvement on the local level. Participation in the 2015 Forum, dedicated to the theme “Freedom vs control: For a democratic response”, is open for the public and is free of charge.
