Digital futures of democracy
The future must be actively negotiated and shaped - and in a democratic way. For the Foundation for Technology Assessment, the Dezentrum developed three future scenarios for a digital democracy in the year 2050. In a participatory and interdisciplinary process, three short stories were created, each illustrated by a speculative object.

Forum For Inclusion
A platform for people without voting rights
Dezentrum developed Forum For Inclusion for the Prototype Fund. It is a web application where people without voting rights can share their opinion on national votes. Anonymously and via voice message. The project wants to question who is allowed to participate in the democratic discourse and at the same time experiment with the digital public. Once a year, Opendata.ch's Prototypefund supports projects that aim to strengthen digital participation.

A digital conference on co-creation in the theatre
For the Festspiele Zurich, we conceived and realised a digital conference on the idea and applicability of co-creation to the classical theatre business together with STRIDE and Benedikt Wyss. Co-creation was not only the theme, but also the programme: versatile formats experimented with forms of digital co-creation and participatory documentation.
Thematic Inputs
With our input presentations on the topic of digital participation, you can gain an initial overview of how decentralized technologies are likely to affect your industry. Our input sessions are tailored to your needs and your specific organisation.

Developing desirable future scenarios
On basis of scenario planning, we formulate desirable future scenarios and, on this basis, develop options for action for the present. For us, working with future scenarios forms the basis for not only reacting to technological and social developments, but also proactively responding to changes. We offer scenario workshops or train you in the application of scenario planning.

Testing desired future scenarios in a short time
Experimenting with new ideas and approaches is a central aspect in order to position oneself as an organisation successfully in the context of automated society. With the first prototypes, for example, valuable knowledge can be gained in a short time and possible courses of action explored. We are happy to support you in this project!
Project partnerships and consulting
Our project partnerships range from one-day workshops to collaborations lasting several years. We bring in our expertise on questions concerning the topic of automated and actively help you to implement your projects.
