Gianluca Sgueo about gamification and how it has potential to improve participation in democracies

Legal scholar and digital democracy expert Gianluca Sgueo explores how gamification can revitalize democratic participation. From his research on participatory democracy across different legal systems to real-world examples like the World Bank’s global crisis simulation game and Lima’s innovative pollution monitoring project, Sgueo discusses why traditional civic engagement is declining and how game design elements might re-engage citizens. He also examines the limitations of current approaches and envisions how technology could reshape democratic participation in the coming decades.
