In our age of globalization, citizenship is experiencing major transformations, in practice as in theory. Migrants destroying their passports, states offering citizenship for sale, an increasing number of people holding multiple passports – what do such realities entail? As global governance is gaining traction, citizenship, a concept that used to be conceived in national terms, is receiving a cosmopolitan imagination. But what could global citizenship consist of? This Democracy Lab explores this question in very concrete terms. It provides a hands-on, design-thinking, experimental space where students elaborate a specific problem of global citizenship and devise a potential solution together.
