Synopsis:
In Iceland, the first European country to wake up to an economic crash, people became aware that they could and should intervene in society and started demanding more democratic participation.
The payment of bank debts by citizens went to referendum. The government was forced to create a council to write a new constitution: a citizens’ group, without politicians, lawyers, or university professors, who opened the discussion process to everybody and managed to approve, by consensus, a draft proposal.
In Iceland, many citizens are now organized in associations and have substantial proposals for a society where everyone can participate.
Let’s meet the Icelanders that the media never talks about.
