What is Sociocracy
Life is self-organisation – therefore I am alive were I am free to co-design the structures which affects me. Sociocracy is using a decision making and an organizational structure to enable co-creation in organisations. RCE Munich started a sociocracy working group to spread this system of governance in the ESD-field. RCE Munich hopes to give a boost of trust, cooperation and transparency in every organisation.

The emerging trend to incorporate knowledge in policymaking and implementation faces challenges as well as opportunities. The complexity of policymaking, with many players intervening in the process with their interests and resources, means that the interaction between the available knowledge and its creators and users will vary in diverse contexts. Therefore agents of change will need to effectively interplay with politics, and develop various skills to match evidence with decisions and policy management.
