The Democracy Game is a digital educational platform that provides information and facilitates debate about democracy and how civil rights are protected under the Danish Constitution.

The Jury says

This design solution has a clear and important purpose – to enable democracy to be understood and valued. It is also an engaging and flexible learning platform. Though the subject matter itself – the laws that support the Danish constitution – may be complex and difficult to understand, the game makes the subject engaging, enjoyable and the foundation for meaningful discussions. The game itself has been developed using a design-thinking approach across many stakeholders and collaborators – illustrating how design can be applied to virtually any subject – even the communication of democracy itself.
