SUMMARY:Generating Democratic Legitimacy | Come learn about decolonial governance with me on a boat!
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about decolonial approaches to governance\, participation and organizational culture on a boat! 🚢\nWhat does democracy look like when it is rooted in equity\, care\, and collective accountability rather than hierarchy\, exclusion\, or technocratic control? This workshop invites participants to explore how creative\, decolonial approaches to bureaucracy can strengthen democratic legitimacy – not by abandoning institutions\, but by transforming how they function and whom they serve. \nIn many systems\, bureaucracy has become a symbol of delay\, opacity\, and disconnection. In others\, it is entirely absent\, leaving communities without protection or recourse. But there is another way. By working collaboratively across disciplines and experiences\, we will examine how bureaucracies can become spaces of trust\, transparency\, and responsiveness. Together\, we will design strategies for inclusive governance that resist colonial patterns of extraction\, surveillance\, and silencing\, and instead foster participation\, fairness\, and shared power. \nThis is not a typical policy session. Set on a boat and designed to be as fluid and open as the waters around us\, this workshop will centre lived experience\, imagination\, and critical reflection. We welcome those working in public institutions\, civil society\, grassroots movements\, and beyond to join us in building cultures of governance where legitimacy is earned through relational practices\, not rigid rules. \nLet’s reimagine bureaucracy as a tool for liberation – one that serves people first. \nCome aboard and co-create systems worthy of the trust we ask citizens to give! \n🌊💬 \nTime: June 5th\, 13:30 – 16:00 CEST \nGet your tickets here: https://creativebureaucracy.org/tickets (DM me for a voucher!)
