CONFERENCES – Were you waiting for 2021 like a light at the end of the tunnel? Yet do you have the impression that this beginning of the year is an eternal restart? As we understand you … What if we stopped waiting for the future, what we have (too often) called “the world after”? If we decided to summon him, right now.
The Huffpost joins the initiative of Boma France. After our cycle of free and online conferences during the spring confinement, we invite you to follow a new conference per month around “Futures”. What will be the futures and possibilities of democracy, work or even our food?
Let’s chat live for 1h30 on the Facebook page of HuffPost and on the Boma France Facebook page, with experts, civil society actors and your questions, during an enriching conversation moderated by Michel Lévy-Provençal, contributor to HuffPost, founder of TEDxParis and co-founder of Boma. We start this Monday, January 18.
What is the future of our democracies?
This Monday (from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m.), the series of conferences “Futures” opens with the theme of democracy. What futures do our governance systems have? Will we be moving towards more direct democracy and a weakening of representativeness? Or on the contrary, will we recognize the need for a power capable of deciding and acting quickly and more effectively? And the technological revolution, is it a brake or an accelerator for the future of our democracies?

We submitted these questions to Paul Duan, creator from the NGO Bayes Impact which uses algorithms to optimize public services, Alicia Combaz, co-founder of Make.org which organizes citizen consultations with concrete effects, to David Djaïz author of Slow Democracy and to Tristan Mendès Frances, expert in digital cultures.
And in the months to come? By June, we will also explore “the futures of”:

– Of the culture
– Food
– Tourism
