My Deep Democracy, MDD

My Deep Democracy (MDD) is the overall framework for the final diploma projects at the Deep Democracy Institute International.

Rather than following only the format of a traditional academic thesis, each project reflects the student’s personal journey and perspective – their “dreaming” to use a Process Work term. It is an opportunity to bring forward what matters most to them in their learning and growing journey—shaped by their experiences, values, and creative expression.

These projects grow out of an individual’s focus on the strong desire to learn, to create something meaningful, and to share knowledge rooted in the student’s own cultural background and life experience. They can take many forms, including written work, visual projects, or experiential presentations.

Each project is presented with an individual project designation (e.g., “Diploma Thesis,” “Diploma Film Project”) that reflects its form and focus.
