Mind the gaps: completing the European Democracy Shield

Democratic safeguarding look like in practice? In this hands-on workshop hosted by European Partnership for Democracy and Democracy International,  What does we will be zooming in on key components of the Shield that are still to be defined. Join us to co-create priorities that can guide the Shield’s implementation in 2026 and beyond. 

This is a session focused on the European Democracy Shield that uses the occasion to actively shape and influence the parts of the Shield that are still under development.

 As several elements are still “in the pipeline”, for example the Democracy Guide for Citizens or the European Citizens' Panel on Democratic Resilience, our goal would be to zoom in on these open areas in breakout groups and co-create priorities that could guide implementation in 2026 and beyond. We are aiming for a highly interactive, forward-looking, agenda-setting workshop.
