✨ Big questions to start the week...
🌍 What if the blueprint for our future was shaped by citizens, not just politicians?
In Norway, 56 everyday people came together in a unique democratic experiment to ask:
How can our national wealth serve the world, our people, and future generations?
From this, the Citizens’ Assembly for Norway’s Future was born 💡
Their vision includes:
✅ A Future Generations Commissioner to protect tomorrow
✅ Direct public voting on big national decisions
✅ Institutions that truly earn our trust
This is about reimagining democracy — and building a fairer, more sustainable future for all.
💭 What role should citizens play in shaping the future?
