PROCESS.

​

1. The audience decides which problem the 12 have to solve.
    

2. The 12 will be randomly selected from the audience! Of course, only from those who registered before and agreed to this.
    

3. As soon as the 12 are read , the countdown for the first 45 minutes starts. The 12 host the conversation themselves, using the rules and the dialogue cards they receive at the beginning.
    

4. If the discussion comes to a standstill, they can ask the audience for help three times (Joker).
    

5. After 45 minutes there is a 10-minute break for breathing and consultation about who is going to present the solution, if the 12 can agree on something.
    

6. After that the audience has 10 minutes to give actively input and/or comment what the 12 have discussed so far.
    

7. After 80 minutes, a bell rings to emphasize that there are 10 minutes left to present the solution in the best possible way.
    

8. Solution: The 12 must present their solution before the 90 minutes are up. If they can agree before the time runs out, all the better.
    

9. In the end, the audience decides whether the solution counts or not.
    

10. End
    with agreement: The solution will be sent to the Swiss Federal Council and the Association of Municipalities. Or another responsible executive.
    
    without agreement - or if the solution is not accepted by the audience - all 12 must do 2 hours of voluntary work each.
