Ana Revuelta

This last session, more informal and interactive (following the ‘fish bowl’ dynamic), will address the role that alliances (including the Global Democracy Coalition) play in protecting and strengthening democracy regionally and globally. It will discuss the direction, priorities and governance that these alliances must have in order to play a relevant role and the tools and strategies that can be used to reach a greater impact.

Regional Coordinator for Europe

2º panel: Narratives on democracy

Head of Campaigning

This session will address the main advances, opportunities, setbacks and current challenges of democracy and democratic institutions in Europe, identifying the common and specific values that characterise European democracies, but also the different practices and conceptions that coexist throughout the continent. It will conclude with a joint reflection on what can be done from the different actors (institutions, activists, civil society and citizenry) and also jointly to protect and strengthen our democracies.

Opening Session: challenges for democracy in Europe

Product Manager

This panel will explore how younger generations are engaging socially and politically through technology, how they are innovating in their social activism and how they are addressing the challenges of disinformation in Europe. The panel will approach these issues from a risk-opportunity logic, trying to detect which factors may help to tip the balance on the side of strengthening democracy.
