    This past weekend, we attended the 2024 Battle of Ideas Festival hosted by Academy of Ideas. We had the pleasure of meeting so many new friends doing good work in the political space in the UK! Our very own Sophie Harborne (née Hammond) also spoke on a panel about whether citizens' assemblies can save democracy, co-hosted by DemocraFest. Thank you to everyone who came to say hello, it was lovely meeting you all 💚 We were so excited by the opportunity to engage with so many new voices across the political spectrum and hear your stances on the issues of today. And of course a big thank you to Academy of Ideas for having us! #BattleFest #BattleofIdeas2024

    Co-Founder and Marketing Manager of DemocraFest | Honors Political Science, History, and Data Science Student at UNC-Chapel Hill

    Popping on here for my first ever LinkedIn post to update you all on the somewhat spontaneous and unconventional professional journey I've been on lately, and to introduce a project that I believe has the potential to change the political landscape in the UK for the better. In January, I moved to London for the Honors Carolina study abroad program. For four months, I interned for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Commons, where I met some amazing people and learned how to bang out constituent casework like nobody's business. My supervisor, Sophie, and I became fast friends and spent many hours discussing our frustrations with how the political systems in both the UK and the US had left young people behind. Sophie's idea to put on Britain's first ever politics festival was explained to me over a coffee in the Portcullis House cafeteria. Three months later, I am still here, spearheading marketing and PR for the festival we're building together, from scratch. The event will feature debates between MPs from each of the major parties, podcasters, and comedians. There will be lots and lots of beer, local food, and music. Mark your calendars for 30 August 2025 in North London because you are not going to want to miss this. Also follow our socials @DemocraFest because that's where the good stuff is.
