Digital democracy promises more involvement of citizens through the Internet. Yet, so far, significant impact has been disappointing. Our DesignLab organizes an interactive session where we’ll create digital tools to strengthen democracy – right before the municipal elections in the Netherlands, in cooperation with the Rathenau Instituut. Speakers: Ira van Keulen and Peter-Paul Verbeek, moderators: Pieter van Boheemen and Frank Kresin. See; https://www.utwente.nl/en/designlab/Events/!/2018/3/267693/digital-democracy
