Round table: Added values of a coalition to promote democracy
This last session, more informal and interactive (following the ‘fish bowl’ dynamic), will address the role that alliances (including the Global Democracy Coalition) play in protecting and strengthening democracy regionally and globally. It will discuss the direction, priorities and governance that these alliances must have in order to play a relevant role and the tools and strategies that can be used to reach a greater impact.
