On the UN's Day of Democracy (15th September), So Say Scotland in collaboration with Wilma's Wish Productions, northern renewal and Kiltr, with support from The Common Weal - a vision for a better Scotland, present Democracy Remixed, part of the Scotland Loves Democracy campaign: lifting the lid on democracy!
Film Screening: Blueberry Soup - How Iceland drafted a constitution
Interviews with members of the public elected to the Constitutional Committee illustrate the energy, hopes, and insight from their ground breaking participatory constitution drafting process.
Live Performance: Northern Renewal - How creativity is at the heart of democracy
Launching the second edition of the zine, with a host of guest editors, and focusing on the referendum, contributors to this edition bring to life the connection between creativity and democracy.
Dialogue: Kiltr. Connection is everything
From the Iceland example we see that connection through social media and in person allowed many people in the country to participate in the democratic process. 93.5% of people in Iceland used the internet in 2009. How might we scale that to Scotland?
