I am responsible for Democracy International’s Public Relations and Global Community building. Among other things, I oversee the development of this International Democracy Community of activists which seeks to link organisations and people working on democracy issues worldwide. Our goal is to collect best practices from civil society and academia and allow people working on direct democracy issues to publicize their projects and connect with each other.
