The 'The Amazon I Want 2026' project, run by the Fundação Rede Amazônica, is set to launch a new season on Wednesday, focusing on 'Democracy in the Digital Age'. It emphasizes the importance of discussing new technologies in the electoral process, especially with the upcoming elections in 2026. A live event will be held at the Senate in Brasília, showcasing discussions on the role of technology in democracy, aimed at informing residents about the impact of digital tools in governance.

Ruthiene Bindá, the project coordinator, has expressed the goal of this season is to expand the dialogue around technology and democracy, highlighting the significance of educating the citizens of the Amazon region. The event’s official launch will include a keynote lecture by Marcelo Bechara, an expert in the area, which sets the stage for broader discussions that will take place across the Legal Amazon states. These engagements will include debates and face-to-face meetings intended to foster reflection on the future of the Amazon region amidst technological advancements.

As the project reaches out to various states within the Legal Amazon, it aims to ensure that the voices of local communities are heard in order to shape a collective vision for the region's future. Considering that 2026 is an election year, this initiative is timely in facilitating informed discussions about electoral engagement and the influence of digital media on public opinion.
