Assemblies

To connect the world’s advocates for democracy, the World Movement for Democracy organizes biennial global assemblies, gathering hundreds of activists, practitioners, scholars, donors, and others engaged in democracy promotion from more than 100 countries.

Assemblies feature a wide variety of workshops and panel discussions that address significant challenges to democracy, and serve as a rare face-to-face opportunity to network and learn from peers. The assemblies also offer an opportunity to pay public tribute to democracy advocates who have risked everything to champion democracy and freedom.

To date, assemblies have been held in: Lima, Peru; Jakarta, Indonesia; Kyiv, Ukraine; Istanbul, Turkey; Durban, South Africa; São Paulo, Brazil; and New Delhi, India.
