Democracy Under Threat, Berlin
Berlin, Germany
An analytical journey through Germany's democratic evolution. Using real Harvard HBS GEMS case studies, students evaluate successful and failed democratic models, analyzing the profound impact of social media, immigration, and Artificial Intelligence on institutional fragility. Through the Echo Chamber Experiment and our Naboo 2040 political simulation, students experience algorithmic polarization firsthand to ultimately draft a Future-Proof Constitution for the year 2040.
“Can freedom survive the 21st century?“
-
“This is not a standard political science tour. It is a high-stakes geopolitical incubator. In an age of algorithmic manipulation and rising populism, this program trains students to defend democratic institutions, transforming passive doom-scrollers into active architects of a resilient future.“
