How to upgrade our democracy for the digital era | Aline Muylaert | TEDxLiège

How to upgrade our democracy for the digital era Aline Muylaert is the co-founder of CitizenLab, an e-democracy platform that allows governments to give their citizens a direct say on the topics that matter to them. Today, the citizen engagement platform is used by more than 80 local governments around the world, including big cities such as Vancouver, The Hague, Brussels, but also way smaller municipalities. Aline got recently awarded as Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe in Law & Policy for her work on bringing local democracies into the digital age. Aline studied Business Engineering in Brussels and founded CitizenLab as a student entrepreneur. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I'm running for City Council in Thousand Oaks, California and I want to incorporate this. Is it Open Source? Thank you for your attention.
