The primary focus is on understanding how digital technologies could reshape the democratic public sphere over the next 10 to 15 years. Key questions include changes in public opinion formation, alterations in democratic processes due to digitization, identification of new avenues for public participation, and shifts in power dynamics. These topics will be explored through a series of three workshops, led by experts from Foresight Intelligence, Dr. Johannes Gabriel and Marcel Hadeed.
