Solutions from Ukraine: Kyiv to host major forum on democracy amidst war
The Forum "Democracy in Times of War: Ukraine's Experience and Lessons for the World" will take place in the capital on November 1, 2024. It will be a platform for discussing strategies to uphold democracy in times of crisis.
Rubryka informs about this.
What is the problem?
Amid the ongoing war, Ukrainian society is experiencing a shift that impacts both its national identity and the development of a new type of democracy. In the face of a war in the heart of Europe that destabilizes global systems, one must ask: how can democracy be upheld and fortified during times of turmoil?
This issue is particularly pertinent for Ukraine, as it is actively fighting for freedom, especially against its pursuit of European integration and dedication to democratic values. Not only Ukrainians are seeking answers, but the entire democratic world is closely observing Ukraine's experience and the valuable lessons it presents.
What is the solution?
The forum "Democracy in Times of War: Ukraine's Experience and Lessons for the World" will take place on November 1, 2024. It will provide a platform to discuss strategies for promoting democracy in times of crisis. Prominent figures such as Ukrainian and international experts, politicians, scientists, human rights advocates, and activists will gather to examine the challenges posed to the democratic legal system and the progress of Ukrainian society.

- Democratic legal order. Integration into the EU during and after the war.
- At the crack of democracy? Global strength.
- Sustainability and democracy of the future. Transformation of Ukrainian society.
