About the event
Democracy doesn’t just happen. It is a matter of values and a contract between all the society members and institutional or corporate actors. To build it, sustain it and let it evolve we need a social infrastructure. The war in Ukraine, the Refugee Crisis, corruption and surveillance - democracy can’t be taken for granted. It is never “done”, it is a process. Technology can help facilitate it, but it isn’t an answer. As one of the youngest democracies in Europe Ukraine can be a pioneer of using technologies for democracy building, but in many cases there is no need to reinvent the wheel. At Personal Democracy Forum Ukraine we will speak to both local and global problems and net:work democratic solutions together.About the organizers
