About Event

Meet Claudia Chwalisz, Exponential Do member who's on the mission to shift political and legislative power to everyday people. In this 45-minute session, Claudia will present her new venture, DemocracyNext. DemocracyNext is an international non-profit, non-partisan research and action institute launched in September 2022 to build new institutions for the next democratic paradigm of citizen participation, deliberation and representation by lot.

Prior to forming DemocracyNext, Claudia was involved in designing the permanent Paris Citizens’ Assembly, as well as the Ostbelgien Citizens’ Council, the world’s first second chamber with people drawn by lottery. Claudia previously established and led the OECD’s work on innovative citizen participation.

Claudia authored an essay for Exponential View in June 2022 about the deliberative wave and how it can help us reclaim democracy. The essay is available here.
