Politics For Tomorrow

Politics for Tomorrow is a nonpartisan #psinnovation initiative boosting #humancentereddesign capacity in German public sector for #OpenGov #RRI #SDGs, started 2015 by https://www.nextlearning.de Our mission is to strengthen transformative competencies for public value creation in individuals and organisations. By supporting civil representatives to actively shape the evolution of state-citizen interaction, we aim to bridge disciplinary and hierarchical silos in order to take joint actions for participatory processes and democratic innovation. We work towards a cultural shift in the political-administrative context by empowering our partners with methodologies that unlock the potential for collaborative, creative and impact-oriented action. Our learning approach is based on real challenges, unleashing collective intelligence and experimentation in order to generate viable solutions. In 2015, we were pioneers in promoting these design principles and methods in policy-making in Germany by hosting a remarkable conference on this topic in Berlin: https://www.nextlearning.de/projects/innovative-approaches-in-policy-making As members of the Open Government Partnership Network in Germany, we actively support the idea that governments must become more transparent to whom they are serving and more inclined to engage in dialogue and co-creation activities with their public. Our references in Germany include partnerships with the Federal Chancellery, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, the Federal Employment Agency, the Federal Environment Agency, the Ministry for Equality and Social Affairs in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Rural District Office of Munich, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, the Heinrich Böll Foundation, the Federation of German Scientists, the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Science, or the Free University of Berlin. https://www.politicsfortomorrow.eu
