The Digital Democracy Camp

The Digital Democracy Camp, or DDC for short, is a scalable course in a barcamp format that is currently being developed in a participatory manner with students. After an introduction to various democracy topics (e.g. election procedures, Digital Service Act, citizen participation procedures and formats, wisdom of the crowd, etc.), the students of the Future of Democracy seminar determine the content focus of the DDC topics. This content will be developed and pedagogically prepared with the help of a specially created artificial intelligence. On this basis, lectures and a variety of interactive participation formats will then be planned and jointly implemented. The aim is an interactive workshop format in which students discuss and test central topics and tools together with representatives from science and society at several stations.

With a wide range of cooperation partners, the aim is to create a valuable exchange between all parties involved. Through Prof. Dr. Mäs, expertise in sociology can be exchanged with other areas of democracy.
