DEMO.RESET CHRONICLES
Publication_02
This collection of chronicles brings together seven experiences of living democracy in the Global South, where citizen participation is being reinvented in classrooms, streets, territories, and collective memories. Through three thematic chapters—democratic innovation, deliberative youth, and territorial impact—this document explores initiatives that, far from replicating imported models, shape democracy from the context, creativity, and local urgency.
Each story reveals that deliberation is not only about deciding, but also about imagining, caring, and transforming together. At a time when democracy seems distant and technical, these voices remind us that it is made up of encounters, shared decisions, and everyday resistance.
