Introduction

Technology is completely changing the way we live, work, and play.

What does it mean to be a citizen in the digital age? What are our new rights and responsibilities? What common things do we care about and want to tackle as a group? These are the questions we're asking people all over the world through our global inquiry into citizens in the digital age.

We kick things off in London where The Fourth Group will host a public conversation. It's really simple: Join us, engage in debate, meet new people, be part of a movement.

Inquiry

Throughout 2018, The Fourth Group (in partnership with Democracy.Earth, One Young World, Newspeak House, and the Global Social Entrepreneurship Network) is running an inquiry to learn what problems citizens want to sort out and what actions they want to take in regards to the impact of digital technologies. To achieve this, we are hosting conversations in every region of the world, and giving everyone the opportunity to engage through our online survey. After listening, we will develop an agenda of issues and solutions which will be launched at Politics Summit 2018 in London. This agenda will form the basis of The Fourth Group’s actions in 2019 and beyond.
