Canada's Democracy Summit
March 23 - 25, 2023 | #DXC23
Building democratic resilience by deepening the practices necessary to protect democratic values and recognize and resist threats.


#DXC23 Opinion
Universities are vital to co-creating a resilient democracy: Ana Serrano of OCAD U and Mohamed Lachemi of Toronto Metropolitan University advance the argument that universities, in protecting a space for learning and expression and acting collectively for a better tomorrow, are helping to preserve the tenets of a democratic society.
What to Expect at #DXC23
The fourth DemocracyXChange Summit is the event of the year for change-makers who care about defending democratic values, and want to help tackle some of the most pressing problems of our generation - from countering far-right extremism to rampant nationalism, growing disinformation online, and a lack of representation at today’s tables of power.
DXC will bring together students, researchers, practitioners, public servants, community organizers, and leaders from the private, public and not-for-profit sector to connect, learn and emerge with new partnerships, plans and actions to strengthen democratic institutions and civil society. The summit will include live talks, hands-on workshops, networking opportunities, and special guests.

Democracy Futures
Democracy Futures will engage democracy sector practitioners in a design process exploring DXC23 themes to envision and work towards a thriving democracy. Democracy Futures will include a series of workshops facilitated in-person and online by the Super Ordinary Lab at OCAD University.
Space at Democracy Futures is limited. All DXC23 registrants are invited to apply to attend.
