Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: The Legacy of Democracies and Violation of Democratic Standards. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Global challenges towards democracies have been a reality since its historical beginning. Whether a democratic state is newly established or deeply rooted over time, its resilience has been tested. In the last decade, democracies have been challenged as never before. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged individual rights and democratic representation. The questions of how we can protect, promote, and build democratic values have become more relevant than ever. The Oslo Center will be hosting a webinar to discuss the importance of democratic resilience, the threats encountered, and global collaboration. You are warmly welcomed. This year, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Gordon Brown, will present “global cooperation and where we can make the greatest progress”. Followed by a panel on “the backsliding of democracy and rising autocracies”, with speakers from diverse fields. The event will be moderated by journalist Christian Borch. Program: 13:00 – 13:10 Welcome 13:10 – 13:40
