Join us for Tomorrow’s Democracy, a conference on Monday 5th November, in the City of Newport, South Wales.

We are delighted to be partnering with Newport City Council to deliver Tomorrow’s Democracy, the inaugural event of what is hoped to be an annual Festival of Democracy in Newport.

The conference will explore where democracy is today and where it is headed next, in the city that is strongly associated with the Chartist movement in the 1800s. Given the continuous rise of populism, which has caused a crisis in liberal democracy, there has never been a more important time for insightful discussion and debate about how democracy is working and what might need to change to ensure its survival.

The questions that will be debated include:

• Can deliberative democracy inspire greater participation in politics?
• Is global democracy dead?
• Is Devolution the answer to taking back control?
• Is the internet poisonous to democracy?
• Would more diversity in politics lead to increased political engagement?
