S2 Episode 6: What if digital citizen participatory practices were the key to restore trust in political processes?

Representative democracy is in crisis. Public confidence in the accountability of democratic representation has experienced a steady decline, both within and outside the EU. For many citizens, political actors are distant figures and legislative processes appear too complex to follow and control.
