According to the V-Dem Institute, which publishes annual global democracy indices, the world has seen eight consecutive years of democratic decline, and 74% of the population now lives under some form of autocracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Spain, according to data from the Centre for Sociological Research (CIS), 72.6% of young people still consider democracy to be preferable to any other form of government (compared with 79.2% of the population as a whole). Against this backdrop, with <em>More democracy <\/em>we reclaim horizons of hope and for that reason we are launching this project with the aim of being able to <strong>creating spaces for experimentation and speculation for a more robust democracy.<\/strong> This is about supporting emerging trends or delving into governance labs that allow for later replication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We set the next 50 years as our horizon and to that end we ask ourselves: if we have been able to live in freedom these last 50 years, what will it be like to live in freedom for the next 50? We are not looking for oracles, but for processes that help us to imagine that future yet to come, but above all we are looking for young people willing to think about how to strengthen the democracy that is to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this meeting, in addition to presenting the call for applications, with moderation by Pablo Gastaldi, <strong>We will talk<\/strong> event on youth and democracy with the youngest mayoress in Spain, <strong>Ux\u00eda Oviedo<\/strong>; the secretary of the EPA! association and former member of the Advisory Council on Youth at the Council of Europe, <strong>Mat\u00edas Rubio<\/strong> y <strong>Josefa Mesa<\/strong>, PhD student in Contemporary History and content creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will also enjoy a <strong>performance<\/strong> in charge of <strong>Megane Mercury<\/strong> and we will discover the challenges facing democracy today through <strong><em>On the Threshold: 11 Challenges for Contemporary Democracy<\/em><\/strong>, a new <strong>fanzine<\/strong> prepared by <strong>Remedios Zafra<\/strong>, <strong>Fernando Bronco <\/strong>y<strong> Jaume Peris<\/strong>, from the Futures Laboratory of the University of Alcal\u00e1.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lacasaencendida.es\/encuentros\/confabular-mas-democracia\">Book your place<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PROGRAMME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">18:40 Presentation of the<strong> Call for applications: Confabular m\u00e1s democracia<\/strong>, which with an endowment of<strong> 100.000\u20ac<\/strong> seeks to support young people who wish to experiment, imagine or dream of more democracy.
