We deliver these interviews to you with the same goal that pushed us to realize them: listen, understand, and imagine together new ways.
Excerpts:
“We have spent the last 30 years seeing the divorce between democracy and politics. We need to give democratic meaning back to politics.”
Jo Spiegel
"We don't know how to communicate well between citizens and institutions: to express our ideas, to receive those of others, or simply to recognize them."
Camille Morio
"Democracy is at the heart of a crisis of legitimacy and a crisis of efficiency."
Clément Mabi
