Democracy under the big top: every voice in the ring

Come together at the Juggle Hub to explore how democracy shapes our working lives and the ways we collaborate. Through a collective collage and creative craft activities for all ages, we’ll reflect on how democratic values - like inclusion, empathy, and shared decision-making can enhance our workplaces and communities.

This interactive event encourages awareness and sensitivity towards others and ourselves, helping us build environments where everyone’s voice matters. Whether you're a student, professional, or simply curious, you'll gain insights into how democratic principles influence teamwork, leadership, and everyday interactions.

We need to feel democracy, not just learn about it and study it as a system of living and governing together. To protect and strengthen democracy, education that supports democratic values and sensibilities is vital. Learning through art, movement, and emotion - “aesthetic and embodied learning” - can help to deepen understandings of and feelings for democracy and transform how we relate with each other and participate in democratic societies.
