THE DEMOCRACY HOUSE soon to be launched

Why Democracy? aims at being a provocative exploration of democracy, but will also be itself an ‘exercise’ in democracy – the opening of a world-wide dialogue. Democracy is the most prominent system of governing in the world, but it does not always benefit everyone and is not always practiced democratically. We want to get people to say what they have experienced and what they think about democracy and civil society.

We are creating a forum for the debate, primarily online but also in civil society. Working full-time out of Cape Town, South Africa, during the months of June-October 2007 a diverse group of interns will develop ideas, create content, link whydemocracy.net to other sites, produce live news shows, quizzes, and make contacts throughout the world. Each person is bringing skills and interests from their own particular background to add creative and critical content.
