In partnership with DGAgora
Ten years ago WAAS recognized the need for establishing a global virtual platform to foster emergence of a shared global social consciousness to serve as a practical means for giving voice to the views of “we the people” and to eventually serve as an instrument for conducting formal or informal global referendums and other forms of liquid democracy. This session will explore strategies, potential partnerships, organizational structure, financing and other essential requirements for giving concrete shape to this idea.
