Dear Fellow Citizens, Why Does It Work Everywhere Else – But Not in the Czech Republic? | Ji.hlava Vibes

A historical journey through the evolution of decision-making processes, from prehistory, Ancient Greece and Rome, pirate communities and the French Revolution, to the emergence of citizens’ assemblies and the current global wave of deliberative democracy, which is showing the way towards a radical redesign of the political landscape.

No, we don’t all have to end up under the yoke of billionaires and fascism. Could you use a little optimism? Come take a breath and discover possible ways out of today’s polycrisis.

What are the fundamental principles behind successful citizens’ assemblies? What conditions are necessary for them to work? And who is standing in the way of their implementation in the Czech Republic?

An interactive lecture by the Platform for Citizens’ Assemblies, featuring director Andrea Culková.

Lecture is held in Czech without translation.
