Susan Nakyung Lee
Citizen voice booster
Student and member of the Global Assembly core delivery team
“More and more people my age around the world are growing disenchanted and cynical about the systems that allow people who look nothing like us to pull the strings for our futures. We’re not just frustrated about rising temperatures and declining ecosystems, we’re also frustrated about the constant recycling of outdated political solutions.”
Susan Nakyung Lee is a student and democracy practitioner from Seoul dedicated to shortening the distance between everyday people and global decision-making processes, with a focus on iterative pilot testing and youth activation. She co-founded the World Citizens’ Assembly initiative and is part of the core delivery team of Global Assembly, “the first global citizens’ assembly that anyone on earth can join.” She is currently finishing her studies in Political Science and Religion at Amherst College.
Susan will join us live as a remote guest and will interact with the festival audience
