The 7th edition of the World Forum for Democracy, to take place in Strasbourg on 19-21 November 2018, will be dedicated to women’s role in public and economic life. The labs will focus on why and in what way women have different roles, different influence and different levels of participation than men in public affairs and economic life.
Public and private organisations, as well as local and regional authorities worldwide are invited to express their interest in presenting their initiative to balance participation and representation of men and women, by filling in the Submission of initiative in the Call for submissions document here and sending it to [email protected] by 30 May 2018.
The key conclusions and lessons learnt from the labs will be discussed in a summing up session in order to prepare the overall conclusions of the Forum. The Council of Europe’s Democracy Innovation Award will be given to the most popular initiative, voted upon by the Forum participants.
