Athens Democracy Forum

With the United States, Russia and India heading to the polls this year, the 12th edition of the Athens Democracy Forum, aptly titled "Moment of Truth," focused on the upcoming electoral battles in those countries and others around the world, discussing the future of democracy, misinformation and the integrity of the elections.

The President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, received the "City of Athens Democracy Award" on Wednesday from the Mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas, during the Athens Democracy Forum.

The President of the Hellenic Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, is scheduled to visit the Stoa of Attalos at 18:45, where she will be presented with the “Democracy Award of the City of Athens” by Athens Mayor Haris Doukas, as part of the Athens Democracy Forum. The award recognizes her significant contributions to the promotion of democratic values.

Athens is reemerging as a center of innovative democratic processes, as the city will later this month host an innovative "Citizens' Assembly" a few days before next month's Athens Democracy Forum (ADF).

The Athens Democracy Forum (ADF), organized by the Democracy & Culture Foundation (DCF) in association with The New York Times, has announced this year's Teens for Democracy Initiative.

This ambitious program aims to amplify the voices of teenagers in democratic processes, bridging the intergenerational gap, and empowering young individuals to shape their future.

It's less than three months to go from the next edition of the Athens Democracy Forum, taking place in the Greek capital from September 27-29, 2023.

Politicians and policymakers, academics and activists, journalists and youth will be challenged to advance and discuss concrete solutions to address the most pressing issues of our time.
