Democracy is not just a way to be governed. Democracy is a way of creating a better world, but for this, all voices need to be heard. This means we need to completely reimagine it, to revolutionize it! Throughout this episode, Colombe & Andrea will talk about the fact that democracy is losing ground but also the issue with the lack of innovation in this field. To understand how to make democracy sexy again, they’ll call on Digital Minister Audrey Tang, who is spearheading Taiwan’s advances when it comes to digital democracy & participation!
