Go to Democracy Fitness: compromise

Det skal du vide

Living and participating in democracy is not something we can just do. It is a muscle that needs to be trained and exercised. Democracy Fitness is both a breathing space and a place to catch our breath - a place where we are reminded that democracy is not something distant, reserved for the few. Become better at disagreeing, listen more actively and discover that you are braver than you think. Democracy Fitness is a tool to focus on everyday democracy. In 30 minutes we exercise a democracy muscle - and remind each other that democracy lives through us. Without our courage, empathy, curiosity, diversity and action, democracy cannot develop. This time we need to exercise the "compromise muscle". In a democracy, good compromises are important because there are many of us who decide and because more people both know and can do more. Community is one of the primal instincts of humans. We are pack animals and the pack becomes vulnerable if it becomes too divided or if someone is kept out. - Date: 30 September 2026 - Time: 10:00–11:00 - Venue: NygadeHuset - Kulturhus - Address: Nygade 23A, Aabenraa, Denmark
