Can we think of a democratic society without a library? Digital platforms have expanded possibilities for civic participation. New and exiting ideas find their ways more easily into decision making processes. But can the democratic process truly take place without a shared physical platform for a dialogue? We will discuss what kind of circumstances encourage understanding and connection, allow us to dream of new possibilities for a society we want to be part of. Is it behind a computer screen, is there anything there that surprises us? Maybe the libraries are exactly the right places to develop into a hybrid local places that combine the physical and digital sphere in one phygital place?
We invite to an open conversation at the library. What influences our conversations, discussions and understandings of issues, circumstances and diverse social standings of different members of our society. The Citizens foundation show us how they have developed digital democratic platforms like Betri Reykjavík og Hverfið mitt.
