We Do Democracy are leading expert advisors in deliberative democracy, democracy innovation and participation. We are a participatory organization and an organically growing consultancy with assignments throughout Denmark, the Nordics and the world.
We are an interdisciplinary team committed to democratic renewal and leading big change. Our tasks range from organizing and facilitating deliberative formats such as citizens’ assemblies and citizens’ consultations for municipalities and running national democracy programs. We lead an international democracy fitness program, help large member organizations renew their operations and develop strategies for the future of participatory democracy processes.
We typically work for organizations that, like us, work with or as part of democracy. These include the public sector, democratic business, foundations and large membership organizations, as well as development and utility companies. More and more large international projects – both in the Nordics and the rest of the world – are taking up space in our world. We therefore need to get more strong profiles on board.

Be part of a unique democratic value proposition
We live in a time when democracy is under historic pressure. Climate change, technological development, centralization of power, geopolitical conflicts, autocracies and fragile political institutions call for strong organizations working to renew our democratic participatory formats.
We work for more and better democracy, the liberal values of freedom and are committed to creating a society where more people have greater influence on their own lives and the systems we are all part of. Our projects range from citizens’ assemblies and citizens’ consultations to advising democratic organizational change and development projects to strengthen democratic participation for more people.
We are part of a growing international democracy sector and over 25% of our assignments are internationally oriented, where we advise on democracy and participatory processes. In the coming year. Together with national knowledge actors, we are developing a Democratic Impact measurement tool, we work with citizen-driven sustainable tourism development, a nationwide representation network, the Copenhagen Climate Citizens’ Tribunal and a wide range of other development projects. In addition, we run training programs where we exercise democratic muscles and masterclasses on deliberative democracy around the world.
About us
We are a flat, fast-paced organization where tasks often follow interest and energy. The team today consists of consultants from political science, political communication, ethnology over geography and modern culture and aesthetics and management. We are constantly growing and developing, and the portfolio of assignments is expanding both internationally and in versatility.
We work throughout the country/north, and as our citizen-facing work is mainly on citizens’ days off and projects are sometimes abroad, travel and dynamic working hours are occasionally part of the job.
We are located at Demokrati Garage on Rentemestervej in Nordvest – an entrepreneurial environment with many different organizations working with democracy internationally, in Denmark.
