Add to Calendar

Every year, the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy is actively involved in the “Democracy Week” (Semaine de la démocratie) that is promoted by the Geneva Chancellery of State.

This series of events, which seeks to foster debate on a range of themes relating to democratic practices, is part of the UN’s annual celebration of democracy which takes place every September 15 in some 100 countries. This year’s theme “Empowering the Next Generation” stresses the importance of engaging young people and emphasises that their active participation is crucial in nurturing democracy. 

The events hosted by the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy will have a particular focus on youth political participation. They will involve distinguished guests from the fields of politics and academia and they will also enable students to engage in field visits and workshop activities.
