The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, in collaboration with the European Union and partner organisations of the Global Democracy Coalition, will be hosting a Summit for Democracy Dialogue: Building Inclusive Coalitions at the Third Summit for Democracy. The event will take place on 5 September in Talinn, Estonia, on the occasion of the 2023 OGP Global Summit. This Summit for Democracy Dialogue will provide the space for representatives of governments and civil society to reflect together on how to engage new voices in the third Summit for Democracy and to create opportunities for civil society-government collaboration. Following a short input session, participants will join workshop groups to discuss the Summit for Democracy process as well as the overarching question of how to develop a new narrative on democracy.
