Let's make the European public discussion cool again
Our team works to create a new kind of public discussion in Europe. The kind that is accessible to people without expensive travel or digital skills. A human discussion enhanced by digital means.
Be part of innovating our democracies
Public discussion is the cornerstone of democracy and open society. We want to share our excitement and think along with all kinds of partners who would want to be part of creating a new movement for pan-European public discussion.
We're building a European public sphere for the 21st century
We see that global challenges need global discussions
With the ever deepening environmental challenges, geopolitical disruptions and technological advances the global governance needs to speed up to keep up. Our hyperlocal discussions are a testing platform for a new form of international democratic discussion, allowing for a truly international thoughtful public opinion to emerge.
We're looking for hope and spreading it far and wide
Discussions are not just about information – they are as much, if not more about social movements, about inspiration, about activization. So we see the bleakness of our prospects as a species and answer with a dash of hope.
