Join the next Democracy Is Europe event in Prague, to learn more on the Velvet Revolution and reflect on the Future of Europe! This two-day hybrid Democracy is Europe event will start with an overview of the path of Czechia in the EU, and it will include a guided tour through the most significant places of the communist period and the revolution – Old Town Square, Narodni, Wenceslas Monument and Charles University.
The second day will start with personal insight into the Czech peaceful revolution in order to better understand why it strove for European values. The following panel debate will discuss the signs of democratic deterioration, Euroscepticism and populism in Czechia addressing current challenges to liberal democracy as well as the question of why Czechia is a more stable democracy than other countries with a Soviet legacy.
A final training session will provide participants with insights into the latest research findings on backsliding liberal democracy in Central and Eastern Europe.
