DEBATING DEMOCRACY is committed to developing new approaches to learning and teaching through the utilization of datathlons. These datathlons involve the analysis of natural speech samples (corpus) related to sustainable development and democracy, facilitated by software tools.
Nets4Dem connects researchers, practitioners, decision-makers and civil society organisations in Europe and beyond that are committed to making democratic innovation more accessible, effective and firmly embedded in institutions. The project’s distinctive approach focuses on expanding and strengthening connections between existing actors and networks already active in the field. In its new phase, Nets4Dem is developing research sprints, pilot programmes in Łódź and Leipzig, youth labs, multilingual training and digital support for decision-makers. IFDT contributes to connecting and systematising knowledge on democratic innovation, further developing the Knowledge Database on Democratic Innovation and translating research findings into practical resources for researchers, practitioners, decision-makers and policymakers.
Nets4Dem puts forward a Network of Networks approach to establish and develop a European network of practitioners and researchers in the field of democracy, civic deliberation, participation and citizenship education.
The project wants to build a network of research cooperation on Jewish studies in South-eastern Europe as a new academic initiative focused on the region of South-eastern Europe.
