Civil Society – a pillar of democracy
Civil society plays a vital role in deepening and sustaining democratic local governance and keeping the democratic conversation alive. Civil society acts as a watchdog and advocate for change.
In celebration of this year's International Day of Democracy, we invite you to honor and celebrate civil society and its contributions to democracy worldwide. Together with national and international experts, we’ll explore important questions such as:
What is the current space for civil society? What are the implications for democracy when civil society is weakened? How can civil society further develop democracy?
Join us on September 17 for a morning filled with engaging discussions, networking opportunities and poetry.
