The challenges facing the world in recent years are bringing about a recession of democracy and increasingly contributing to the polarisation of society.

Monika Chabrior, Vice-Mayor of Gdansk, Lenka Antalov\u00e1 Plavuchov\u00e1, Vice-Mayor of Bratislava, G\u00e1bor Kerpel Fronius, Vice-Mayor of Budapest, and Nicole Wright Patrick, Programme Manager at the National Democratic Institute, will discuss how local governments can increase the engagement of their citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
