About We Do Democracy
We Do Democracy are independent expert advisors on democracy and participation. We are a Nordic leader in democracy innovation, large-scale involvement and deliberative participation processes. We advise and collaborate to create a better democratic future for more people.
We Do Democracy is leading the way in bringing the deliberative wave to Denmark and the Nordics. We have conducted and facilitated over 20 citizens’ assemblies and citizens’ councils. We actively participate in an international network of democracy experts and are always looking for partners to develop and implement innovative democracy formats that can develop new democratic solutions for the future. We are driven by delivering professional advice on complex issues, where we incorporate the collective intelligence of citizens into solutions – in close interaction with our customers and partners.
Our team consists of dedicated and professional consultants who are committed to helping and building the capacity of the organizations we work with. We consist of a tight-knit team of profiles, all of whom are expert advisors in deliberative processes, each with expertise in a range of themes such as climate, urban development, welfare, renewable energy, diversity and participatory transformation.
We are a democratic organization ourselves as a registered social enterprise and collaborate with democratic institutions, public and private organizations that want to develop and shape our democracy and society. We always follow and adhere to the deliberative principles for good public citizen engagement identified by the OECD.
We are behind the creation of the Democracy Garage, where we fill the Democracy Workshop with our projects, innovation and team. You are always welcome for a cup of coffee at Rentemestervej 57, 2400 Copenhagen NV.

Demokrati Garage
We are housed in the Democracy Garage, which is driven by an ambition to unite the democracy sector in Denmark. We Do Democracy helped initiate the establishment of the Demokrati Garage, which today is run on the content side by an independent organisation, as a dynamic house of democracy and a gathering place for civic engagement This is a modern DIY workshop for democracy, driven by the desire to expand and improve our democracy. In addition to sharing the same address, we organise many citizen-engaging events and initiatives together with the other players at the Democracy Garage, which includes democracy players such as Saga, Andelsgårde, Demokratisk Hub at Fælleskassen, Kooperativet, Akademiet for Social Innovation, Plads, among many others.
There are many opportunities to collaborate with Democracy Garage. Many of Democracy Garage’s events and initiatives are developed with and by volunteers, local actors and organizations.
