We are keen to introduce the preliminary programme for the Democracy Camp 2024, taking place in the Romanian cities of Bucharest and Ploiești this year. At this stage, we are still developing many aspects of the programme and it should rather be taken for gaining a preliminary impression of the activities. Most crucially, it will be finalised with your help at our planning meeting, which is taking place in Bucharest at the Global Forum on Modern Direct Democracy in mid-May 2024. But no worries—we will keep you posted!
