Praxis's new leader Eve Mägi says that public debate is becoming increasingly polarized. Therefore, it is important to maintain focus on facts and substantive dialogue.
Praxis consists of top specialists. Mägi believes that they are motivated by the opportunity to address important issues and see the impact of their work in society. She aims to create an environment where people can think freely and develop ideas. At the same time, a common goal and high standards are crucial.
Praxis must adapt to an era where there is a lot of data, but trust in experts is declining. Mägi thinks that the role of think tanks is important to help society navigate through data and opinions. In her opinion, more clear analysis and dialogue are needed.
Praxis already operates in various fields, such as work, education, and governance. Mägi believes that the interconnection between these areas is an important competitive advantage. Additionally, it is necessary to be ready to focus on new topics as society changes.
Praxis has conducted several important studies, such as the well-being of students and the impact of the digital divide on society. Currently, narratives affecting men's lives and society's crisis preparedness are being studied.
Mägi wants Praxis to be a place where new ideas are born and where knowledge from different fields is combined. Her goal is to help Estonia make smarter policy choices.
