The main aim of Democracy and Design Platform is to activate and foster the growing debate on the current state of democracy, by asking the design community to make a stand.

We are also doing our best in order to give visibility both to theoretical and written contributions and to those events happening worldwide, which we consider aligned with the topics we want to address.

That’s why we’d like to notify you about an event called La Fabrique du débat public, that will be held in Bruxelles from 6 to 9 September, organized by IHEST (Institut des Hautes Etudes pour la Science et la Technologie).

Starting from the idea that, to understand democracy, it’s necessary to understand the complexity of public debate, attendants will investigate and design those tools needed for contemporary public debate.
