The Caux Democracy Forum, taking place in Caux, Switzerland from 8 to 12 July, 2025, aspires to inspire, equip, and connect individuals, groups, and organisations committed to strengthening democracy, human rights and civic engagement across Europe and the world.
This Forum comes at a critical juncture for global democracy. Building on the inaugural 2024 event and in the wake of the “super election year,” we will delve deeper into the values essential for strengthening democracy in a rapidly evolving world, threatened by disinformation, polarisation and waning participation.
By bringing together voices from civil society, grassroots movements, governments, academia, corporations and non-traditional sectors, the Forum creates a unique platform for addressing pressing challenges and fostering citizen engagement.
The Caux Democracy Forum is part of a three-year programme launched in 2024 which includes the Geneva Democracy Dialogues, regional events, and subsequent Caux Democracy Forums from 8-12 July, 2025 and 22-26 June, 2026.
