Democracy 2043

[Myf Nixon]

You're invited to our upcoming free event: A better future: mapping the journey to Democracy 2043.

Part of the annual Festival of Debate, it'll be live streamed as well as in-person in Sheffield, UK.

Wed 24 May 2023, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm UK time.

Whether you'd like to attend in-person or online, please reserve your place at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-better-future-mapping-the-journey-to-democracy-2043-tickets-545940301137

Hope you can make it!

Imagine you had 20 years to shape a better democracy...

...what would that look like? And what do we need to be putting in place now to make it happen?

Most people would agree that we need a healthy democracy: one that's fair, accessible and transparent. It's easy to point to the ways in which our current democracy is not living up to those ideals — but how can we set it on a new, better direction?

At this free event, our panellists will describe their visions for a better future. We'll be asking for yours, too.
