Travel Diaries Berlin - Reimagining Public Institutions with Mikko Annala

from Civic Punks · host Derek Alton

In this episode of Civic Punks at the Creative Bureaucracy Festival, I sit down in the festival's "official" podcast studio with Mikko Annala from Demos Helsinki. We discuss the bold work that Mikko and his team are doing to reimagine how institutions operate in the 21st century—from building new governance models to driving systems-level change. We dig into his partnership with Apolitical, The Transition Collective, and TIAL to create a global community on Reimagining Public Institutions. We also take a moment to reflect on the evolution of the Festival itself—and Mikko shares his hopes for what comes next for the public sector, and for the community of changemakers growing around it. If you care about the future of government, this one’s for you. 🎥 Subscribe for more from the frontlines of Creative Bureaucracy.
