#rp13: There's no business like show: business
“Active citizen” is a buzzword found in political education. Active means that “the citizen” has knowledge of or is informed on politics. Their knowledge-base includes systemic politics, international politics, society, AS WELL AS the economy. It is precisely here that we would like to help out.
We have curated a “fresh” business track, which will take place during all three re:publica days and will look at “resource allocation” from a totally different perspective. Here you’ll find more in-depth information on the programme, as well as several highlights from our business sessions:
