HOW DO WE PROTECT AND STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE? Democracy is being challenged in many ways – yet we also see people and communities finding new ways to make their voices heard, shape decisions, and build trust across differences. On October 15, we invite you to a dialogue where citizens, practitioners, and thought leaders come together to explore this question together. The meeting will be facilitated using Open Space Technology. This gives the best opportunities for an engaging, fruitful and democratic format! Kinna Skoglund<https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinna-skoglund-a193a246/> will briefly share the story of how this initiative began in Sweden, how it is growing, and how it has inspired collaboration with European partners.
