Context
Democracy is in need of reshaping, with an emphasis on participation, engagement, transparency, responsiveness, accountability and effectiveness.
The current state of solutions is fragmented, and produces scatters contents that often lead to dysfunctional argumentation.
Challenge
Citizens increasingly demand to be engaged in democratic and inclusive discussions about new ways to prevent, mitigate, and even resolve ongoing crises and conflicts.
Objective
ORBIS responds to the profound lack of dialogue between citizenship and policy making institutions by providing a theoretically sound and highly pragmatic socio-technical solution to enable the transition to a more inclusive, transparent and trustful Deliberative Democracy in Europe
HOW CAN WE SCALE DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY?
ORBIS will shape and support new democratic models that are imagined and developed through deliberative democracy processes that are digitally mediated.
HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY HELP?
These are processes of structured, inclusive and large-scale societal dialogue, which are built through strong civic engagement.
