DESCRIPTION:Democracy and democratic ideals - political equality\, inalien
 able rights\, representative government - lie at the very heart of the lib
 eral Western order. But what does democracy mean outside of traditional go
 vernment? How do democratic principles emerge in non-conventional politica
 l spaces\, away from politicians and parliaments? In this two-panel event\
 , we ask whether the idea of ‘everyday democracy’ offers solutions to 
 some of the most pressing issues of our time - from governmental accountab
 ility to housing crises in post-disaster zones\, the stagnation of our sch
 ool curriculums and political disenfranchisement. We explore new (and some
 times radical) ideas of what democracy means and\, most importantly\, what
  it could come to mean in a world that is created for\, and by\, the peopl
 e.\n\nPanel One: Designing a Better Future: Technology and Digital Democra
 cy. 6:00-7:00pm. \n\nBreak: Attendees are welcome to purchase refreshments
  from King's College bar before the second panel begins. \n\nPanel Two: Br
 oadening our Horizons: Educational and Cultural Democracy. 7:20-8:20pm.\n\
 nCome along for one or both panels - we look forward to seeing you there!
