Online: How do we secure our European Democracy?
At this moment, the democratic rights and values are under pressure in Europe, and we even see some governments themselves taking part in applying it. It is especially the stable institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights, and respect for and protection of minorities, that are being threatened. We need to discuss how we can overcome these threats, and what we can learn from historical events on how to deal with these issues and prevent democratic backsliding. Therefore, we will start the coversation with the help of this High-Level panel.
The high-level panellists will discuss the current trends of democratic back-sliding in Europe. We will look back and take stock of historical moments, that have helped to shape our European Democracy from 1989 until today. We will discuss the EU enlargement process in 2002, in relation to the agreements made on democracy and the rule of law, and what this means for new EU-member countries. We will also discuss what can be done to protect champions of democracy going forward.
The event will take place in a hyprid format, and students at Grundtvig Højskole are able to participate physically, the rest will pariticpate online. Please register to get the link.
