What do digitalization and democracy have to do with each other? How must digital tools be designed to activate and engage people for democratic coexistence instead of contributing to polarization? What pitfalls need to be considered?

Navigating the tension between digitalization and democracy safely is a key competence – especially at a technical university like KIT, where digital tools are developed and researched.

At the Digital Democracy Camp, students discuss and test central topics and tools together with representatives from science and society at several stations – this is where digital democracy becomes tangible!

The camp is part of the project "Digital Democracy – Key Competences in and for Digital Democracy", which started on October 1, 2024, at the HoC-Methodenlabor.
