Democratic societies constantly face more challenges than they can possibly address at once, and they all compete for our limited collective attention. This raises a fundamental democratic question: who gets to decide what deserves public attention?

At a time when many of us feel increasingly distracted, fragmented, and overwhelmed by competing demands on our attention, this event asks a fundamental question: What would it take to create a society in which our attention serves our values, rather than the interests of those seeking to capture it?

GoodAttention is at Arendalsuka! Join us for a conversation about power, visibility, and the politics of attention—and about what it means to build a democracy in which everyone has a genuine opportunity to shape the agenda we share.
