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.
