Projects

To achieve change we believe you have to look at the whole system. We are working with governments, institutions and citizens towards these priorities:

  • Establish a permanent Global Citizens’ Assembly that can address humanity’s greatest challenges.

  • Develop an online platform to support local citizens’ assemblies, globally.

  • Build support for political systems change through research, communications and ecosystem building.
