Deepening Democracy as a Way of Life

Deepening democracy as a way of life:
Challenges for participatory democracy and citizenship learning in the 21st Century

May 13-16, 2010 - Rosario, Argentina.  Organized by Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales, Universidad Nacional de Rosario.

If in the last two centuries we fought to institutionalize civil, political, and social rights, in the 21st century can we spread and deepen democracy as a way of life? If so, how?

The conference, which follows on two previous conferences held at the University of Toronto, will have two unique characteristics, which we hope will make it lively and stimulating:

- First, along with academic papers, it will include organizations and programs presenting their own political and artistic practices of participatory democracy, to the extent possible at the same sites where these practices are implemented.

- Second, it will be held not only in a central location - the Cultural Center Bernardino Rivadavia - but also at various sites throughout the city, promoting dialogue between local actors and national and international visitors.
