Our value proposition

We work to create a vibrant and interactive democracy as a meaningful response to challenging and complex societal challenges. We live in a time when we as a society are faced with difficult political priorities and decisions: How do we ensure a sustainable green transition? How do we strengthen mental health? How do we counteract the rural-urban divide? And, how do we create a democracy where citizens are included and listened to on a foundation of collective decision-making power?

The answers to all these questions require major changes in the way we live together and engage in communities – and with major change comes conflict. Many citizens do not see their own interests reflected in political decisions, and politicians and civil servants experience resistance when trying to implement solutions that best serve the interests of citizens and society. At a time when we need to take decisive action and show courage as a society, the trust between the system and citizens is mutually challenged, making it harder to create the ambitious political change we need.

A new democratic future is possible

At We Do Democracy, we fight to strengthen democracy. We believe that a new and better democratic future is possible, and as democracy’s professional advisor, we work hard to make ambitious policies with broad popular support possible. Through innovative methods, we ensure that as many people as possible are able to actively participate and contribute meaningfully to the change processes our society is facing.

We see and believe in the potential that arises when systems and citizens meet each other in meaningful processes, i.e., processes that go beyond outdated democratic formats. Multiple perspectives make for better decisions, and we work to ensure that the diversity of the population is reflected in the decision-making processes we facilitate.
