World Forum for Democracy (6-8 November 2023, Strasbourg)
Democracy = Peace?
The programme of the 2023 edition features “Forum talks” on: The truth of war crimes – making use of electronic evidence and open-source intelligence; Memory, memorials and teaching history; Women, democracy and peace; Building peace and democracy across borders; Economics of peace; Sudan’s democratic transition de-railed; International community and democratic insecurity; Learning to wage peace and democracy; Press cartoonist: a profession in danger; Inside Kabul; 7 Winters in Teheran; 4th branch of government: deliberative democracy.
Ten lab sessions, which will address the challenges from different angles and present some measures which have already been implemented, will help to identify a democratic response to the issues raised throughout the Forum. The Council of Europe’s Democracy Innovation Award will be presented to the most popular initiative put forward in the labs (Wednesday 8 November at 12 noon, during the closing session).
The Forum is organised by the Council of Europe, in partnership with Strasbourg City Council, the European Collectivity of Alsace, the Grand Est Region and the French Government.
Since its launch in 2012, the World Forum for Democracy has become an annual opportunity for citizens around the world to reflect on democracy, to analyse its shortcomings and limitations, but also to generate new ideas to respond to the challenges facing democracy.
The Forum will be broadcast on the Internet in its entirety.
