Decidim Fest 2020

Introduction

Welcome to Decidim Fest 2020, a 3 days online conference to embrace urgent challenges at the intersection of Democracy and Technology.

We are living times of uncertainty. The global pandemic has put the world in check while opening up a unique opportunity to change course and face climate emergency, social inequality, the violation of human rights and the rise of fascism, among others. What role does technology play in all of this? Which are the implications for the future of democracy?

Join us in this edition of the Decidim Fest to think and intervene in the challenges of democracy in the network society!
