In a time of great global transformations, we invite you to share experiences and critical reflections about the follow questions: If in the last two centuries we fought to institutionalize civil, political, and social rights, in the 21st century can we spread and deepen democracy as a way of life? If so, how?
The conference, which follows on two previous conferences held at the University of Toronto, will have two unique characteristics, which we hope will make it lively and stimulating:
- First, along with academic papers, it will include organizations and programs presenting their own political and artistic practices of participatory democracy, to the extent possible at the same sites where these practices are implemented. - Second, it will be held not only in a central location - the Cultural Center Bernardino Rivadavia - but also at various sites throughout the city, promoting dialogue between local actors and national and international visitors.
Thematic areas (+) Deepening democracy in civil society Deepening democracy in spaces organized by the state (municipal, provincial and national) Deepening democracy in the workplace Deepening democracy in K-12 (from pre-school to high school) Deepening democracy in higher education Deepening democracy in non-formal education Deepening democracy in the media Deepening democracy in transnational communities
