Renewing democracy every day #4 – effective participation?

In the fourth episode, we delve deeper into the topic Participation – with two perspectives from the moderator's point of view and from the perspective of a participant.
Rebecca Griss was a participant in the last nationwide Vorarlberg Citizens' Council on the topic of Democracy in September 2025, and afterwards, Dr.in Annemarie Felder shares her experiences from her perspective of facilitating the Citizens' Council.

It's about questions of effectiveness, again about the further development of democracy and participation itself – with exciting examples of how participation can also become tangible when you only hear about it. Because it's always better to be involved yourself!
