Through a series of interactive panels, participants will share ideas and practical solutions to examine how we can strengthen democratic institutions, encourage greater public participation and work together to address the challenges facing Commonwealth societies.
How can the Commonwealth support democracy, inclusion and human rights in a rapidly changing world? At a time when democratic institutions face increasing pressures - from declining public trust and disinformation to authoritarian tendencies and shrinking civic space - the role of Parliaments as guardians of democratic values is more critical than ever.
Join us for an afternoon of discussion on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting with Parliamentarians, government representatives and civil society leaders.
Hosted in partnership with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), the event will include:
- Panel discussion followed by Q&A on safeguarding democracy - implementing the Nadi Declaration
- Panel discussion followed by Q&A: A More Inclusive Commonwealth: Advancing Rights, Equality and Participation
- Fireside chat
