*Act On sessions offer quarterly action-oriented get-togethers on a specific issue, between experts and an audience willing to DO something about it.*

A lot is going on around the world that shows just how fragile our democracies are, with plenty of examples of what it can degenerate into: authoritarianism, tyranny, fascism, oligarchy..

The role that tech can and does play in the weakening and strengthening our democracies is only partially obvious. 

We need to start learning exactly how and where are the points of contact, and which buttons to push to reinforce our democratic behaviours, systems & processes, rather than add to the decline.

With backgrounds in policy and tech, our host Maria Koomen, has been reflecting deeply on how to inject a citizen reset into the workings of democracy. Are we fit enough to listen, engage, disagree, make wise collective decisions? Are we well informed? Can we hold our representatives to account? In our busy, distractible times it's on us to train our democratic fitness. 

If you're under the impression that you can't achieve much, persuade a soul or make any difference, join this session and reclaim your citizen power. Together we'll proactively flex our democratic muscles.
