Legislative Theatre: Collective Intelligence on Stage

In collaboration with Katy Rubin, Legislative Theatre practitioner and consultant.

In this workshop, we will offer a practical entry into the world of legislative theatre as a trust-building vector.

We present a space based on games, where movement, imagination, and creativity are fundamental. We will question, through short theatre scenes, the relationship of trust between AI and democracy. This workshop will give Decidim Fest new insights into democratic AI model development that serve society.

This session will be part of a series of tests of this methodology, initially developed in the Democratic Residencies, in partnership between Extituto and People Powered.
