There are so many people in the world, and they are all different. How can these so dissimilar and so complex people live together—and negotiate with each other?
The book 'Why Are You Gathered Here?' is a guide to the history of peaceful assemblies. It tells how people, since ancient times, have made a wide variety of decisions together. Together with the students of the Imaginary 9 'D' (D stands for Democracy), you will learn why the Athenians voted, how the Irish devised the boycott, what an Italian strike is, and much more. The book also contains tasks that will help you understand why meetings are important for everyone and learn to peacefully express your opinions together with others.
