15th December 2015 | 17:30 - 20:00 (GMT) Venue: Nesta, 1 Plough Place, EC4A 1DE London, United Kingdom D-CENT event
Nesta invites you to Digital
Democracy to showcase the development of the D-CENT (Decentralised Citizens
Engagement Technologies) tools and to explore the opportunities for the further
activity in a UK context.
D-CENT is a Europe-wide project
bringing together citizen-led organisations that have transformed democracy in
the past years, and helping them in developing the next generation of open
source, distributed, and privacy-aware tools for direct democracy and economic
empowerment.
There will be presentations from
the D-CENT team demonstrating the technology and highlighting key insights
learnt from direct democracy activity in Barcelona, Reykjavik, Helsinki and
Madrid.
In addition, a panel of movers
and shakers in the UK digital democracy scene will discuss the practicalities
of applying similar approaches in UK cities and how to use digital technology
to reinvigorate democracy and participation in the UK.
