This year’s theme, Global Challenges, Participatory Solutions — explores how people-powered approaches can tackle the world’s most urgent issues – focusing on the climate crisis, the need for more inclusive democracies, and narrative change.
Around the world, people are demanding transformational change — for political systems that work and solutions that meet the complexity of today’s crises. As distrust in institutions grows and authoritarianism becomes more appealing, we need bold democratic practices that deliver real results.
Participatory democracy can help address these challenges, by giving people the power to shape decisions on what matters most, alongside governments. The People Powered 2026 Convening will focus on co-creating innovative participatory solutions, bringing together organizations, civil servants, researchers, advocates, and funders to learn, connect, and shape the future of democracy together.
The program will include:
-
Workshops: Gain practical skills and tools for participatory and deliberative democracy and help build shared global resources and programs.
-
Site visits: Experience and learn from local participatory programs in action.
-
Networking: Connect with peers, practitioners, and changemakers from around the world at fun exchanges and social events.
-
Strategic planning: People Powered members will build agreement on our shared priorities for the next years.
