Modular Deliberative Forums, DEMDIS

In this environment, the practice seeks to restore the value of citizen dialogue by creating carefully curated digital spaces where individuals with divergent views can listen to one another without fear or hostility.

The civic debate model promoted by the Croatian Debate Society (CDS) is a national-level initiative that responds to the lack of youth awareness regarding active citizenship, political agency, and democratic culture. Through a network of debate clubs, the practice aims to empower young people to express their ideas, argue with reasoning, think critically, and actively engage in public life.
