Web platform for voting-ineligible people to share opinions as anonymous voice messages.

#Round 2 

Without voting rights, but not without opinion: About 35% of the Swiss population cannot participate in national democratic decisions. The Forum For Inclusion wants to give these people the opportunity to express themselves and thereby raise awareness for the issue: is it still acceptable who is allowed to participate in the political process and who is not?

It is also an experiment: can simple design adjustments enable respectful discussions on a digital platform? Online spheres are not necessarily known for respectful interaction. The Forum For Inclusion therefore does not use comment or like functions and does not follow a market logic that seeks to maximise interaction time.
