When too many people are unheard or excluded from decision-making, and authoritarian regimes work to cynically manipulate and roll back democratic processes, young minds are indispensable to inspire people and innovate democracy for a brighter future. Appalled yet strengthened in our resolve to stand up for equality, peace, and democracy, we invite 24 young persons to a five-day conference. We pay for traveling, lodging, and meals during your stay.
Together with your peers, you will discuss how to understand the ideal of democracy, and produce a dozen tangible policy proposals for democratisation, peace building, and democracy renewal. You are offered the opportunity to engage with Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, research scholars, and executive professionals as part of a structured and moderated program. Your proposals are expected to be based upon verifiable evidence and they must be deliberated and developed in a collaborative space among equal peers. You will leave the conference trained in democracy entrepreneurship, with broadened knowledge, strengthened voice, enhanced network capacity, and new friends.
