How can we protect democracy in a world of rising authoritarianism?

Join us as we bring together Gen Z leaders and Nobel Peace Prize laureates to discuss what democracy needs to survive.

With the Peace Prize 2025 to Maria Corina Machado as a backdrop, we ask:

  • What are the biggest threats to democracy globally?
  • What lessons can be learned from democracy movements around the world?
  • How may the international community help democracy movements?
