On July 9, 2024, as part of the Young Leaders Hub Croatia, Carousel8 held the workshop “Democracy in Utopia vs. Democracy in Reality” to encourage young people to imagine their ideal society, understand different types of democracy, and promote collective learning and creativity.

After discussing various types and structures of democracy, participants imagined their ideal society and put their ideas on paper. 

We discussed different examples of conflicts in communities, how an ideal society would resolve these conflicts, how inclusive the imagined society would be for everyone, and the importance of civic engagement in the community.

With many interesting ideas, we had a great time as well!
